Short Quietens Poems

Furious purple pen
Seeking sassy strawberries
A black fly in the coffee

The pen waits and waits
In case a gale grows and gathers
Sticks to shake the branches

Fervent pink pomegranate
Offers a warm handshake
Pen quietens 

The poem crystallizes...

I can't weep the sadness from me
it trickles inconspicuous
and never quietens the volume
Blurred sight making passing vehicles
headlights spayed and sprayed
across the oil black asphalt
like orphaned sprites in the deadened night
Looking for myself in the periphery
Looking for the moments when the pain

Thoughts turbid & uncontrollable 
So why make complex the simple
If lower mind wishes to play, let it
With but one condition: don’t let it sit

No sooner thought grasps an object
We send it off on another quest
Thus thought being unable to stagnate
Quietens on it’s own into stillness sedate

It is not the movement of thought per say
That cause any divine connect delay
Rather it is its tendency to grow roots
Which we need to stop, getting it to reboot

Silence never quietens
And pain trickles over the numb
Squeezing breath out 
and clutching at the little deaths
between breaths
I am not
I am nought
My truth no longer sought
Hope turns
Silence never quietens
And the numb
is all i have got...
