Short Quieter Poems

If I sit closer, 
My voice would be quieter.
Push me away, then
My feelings alone will be
Louder than ever before....

I hear a voice.
It's a muffled sound.
I hear it crying.
I start running.
I hear it becoming louder,
But quieter.
It's quiet now.
I see me.
It was me....

Make muddled life quieter 
than the rhythmic raindrop 
rolling euphoria on the leaf. 
Listen to the placid symphony 
of the serene soul 
soaking the drizzle of silence....

Quiet, quieter, quietest,
in heart’s nest, we are by God blessed,
wherein the full spectrum of light,
in time bestows on us clear sight,
to which end, as our will we bend,
in vibrant stillness we ascend....

Silence is an art
The more quieter
The more better
You can hear.

There is beauty
In everything
Even in silence
Even in darkness.

Silence speak to you
About the secrets
Of the universe
If you just observe....

quiet, quieter and quieter yet still
mindfully watching each stirring that arises
aided by divine magnetism heightening its bliss hum
we remain in a time dissolved peace continuum 
grateful God has steadied the flame...

Feeling better aren’t we,
the extra voice grows quieter. 

Do not diminish your pain, 
it comes to teach you. 

Lessons forged in the fire of our hearts
Making us stronger for those who deserve us.

Stay strong little Sister

Howels pain howlin veins

A heart is never silent
just quieter at times

Some hearts far less constant
out of common tune
rhythm difficult to define

Therefore each heart is special
no two exactly alike

The nearer the match
the greater the miracle

Love~ a Harmonic treasure --...

Life is bright, make it brighter
than the sparkling crystal star
to shine ecstasy in the inner sky.
Life is quiet, make it quieter
than leaf-cradled drop of water
to hear the soul’s serene sigh.

When life is quiet, I make it quieter 
than the raindrop rolling on euphoria of leaf, 
to listen to the symphony of the soul, 
drenched in the drizzle of silence.

Bright ,cheerful,jovial is his visage
You sense a fragile sadness
Belied by his soft smile

In  quieter mood his face relaxes
Worry lines fragment his calm
Tears threaten like raindrops

The pent up  dam now  bursts,his bulwark gone
Broken,beaten and bereft
A sad shell of a man...

Alabaster beauty caressed delightfully. 
Excruciatingly flirtatious gentle hands, incite jubilant kisses.
        Luxuriant moans naughtily offend pedestrians.
           Quieter rumblings satiate trembling urges.
 Vanquished wellsprings xeriscape yearning’s zealousness.

Sand gets grayer, melting sun
Merges into setting phase
Waves slow down their run
To the quieter pace 
Gentler blows the ocean breeze
Cirrus clouds decay
Shines a metaphor of peace
In the air today
Looks like postcard type of view 
But it’s not that trite
On the premise of the few
Who can breathe the light.

Sleep, a wonderful gift of nature
That revitalises the body 
And invigorates the mind

The silencer of a crying baby
The quieter of a whole town
The tranquilizer of a troubled mind

After the day's hard work
It is the last resort
A natural antidote for headache

A short nap in the day
Can make a huge difference...

When the weight becomes too difficult to pull
I find I am relieved of the rope.
Things get quieter
But the questions are still crushing.
Lingering and lurid
They prod and peel 
The protective plastic on my mind.
I fall into myself.
An interesting place
And I know the play there.
But not so much here
On this odd earth....

I’ve been hibernating for this period
And in my slumber, I have simply seen shadows
The music is quieter
But the lights are brighter
The lines down my face reveal my secrets
I have been hiding
Listening to jazz and feeding my frenzy
In a black shirt and broken sandals
I have been hibernating
But I promise I’m still brutally breathing...

Heartbeat of the world still sounds,
quieter maybe but still it pounds.
She may roar in pain as if giving birth,
but can always find joy and mirth.
no despair in hearts can bear 
to cry and hands wrung saying "no Fair".
Long is the life of a universe created,
will still be alive while we are creamated.

First bursts of brightness
Is not at all politeness

Trying to catch more z's
The light buzzes like bees

The louder the brightness beats
The quieter the nap fleets

Forced to make a move
My body will surely disapprove

But up, up, and away I must go
What the day brings whose to know

Journeying towards the early day I face
Morning blues cease with each new pace...

as the false ego recedes 
and pristine presence emerges
this shell in which we dwell
invokes grace as bliss surges

resting stirrings that may arise 
slow, slower and slower yet still
motionless in each storm
we imbibe peace to heart’s fill

quieter than the void of space 
where in form we are encased
transcendent yet immanent 
no puzzles remain to be laced...

ERUPTION OF ANGER

Relationships explode in sudden seismic rupture,
from volcano of anger magma of mind erupts fire,
burns the shattered heart in lava of ember disdain.

If touch of remorse makes the upheaval quieter,
dousing the flare of fire with the torrents of tear, 
the scorched soul will rise from the ashes again.

Sandbox is rusty
The swing is covered with mold
They are so lonely

Without their bluebird
Playing and squealing on hold
Disappeared no word

Little chair’s broken
Vines withered away and brown
Hope you’ll be back ‘round

Drum beats no longer
Tambourine’s quieter than quiet
Frozen berries thawed

Mimi’s arms aching
For her Wrenna girl to hold
just don’t understand...

older, but no wiser
quieter, but no calmer
far more passionate, but not a lover
taller, but no more confident

overgrown child
who gave you the ability to... drive?
eat, think, work on your own terms
i can't believe the joke you really are

looser, but still a loser
better, but still understated
callous, but still crying
failure, but still with hope

believe it or not...
