Short Soundlessness Poems

Words pass unspoken,
Louder than any that have been uttered,
In love, in passion, in frustration, in pain,
The soundlessness of the divine,
Clearly present in the refrain....

trees

upon

forest floor lie

underneath decaying

from yesteryear changing seasons

long past gleaned comforter of summers green

solace in soundlessness hollow,

nature's

home

Here I am laying my 
Soft bed down I'm
Thinking about tomorrow
Wishing for yesterday 
when days before
I savored the banks of the
French Rivieras undisturbed
Soundlessness  solitude of the
Quiet waves rolling placidly
Seemingly beaches ago a 
Flock of fair feathered friends
Soaring being admired...

falling back
water envelopes me 
i am surrounded by nothing 
nothing but the quiet of the 
soundlessness  of the confined water space
it surrounds me like a coffin
burying me in a stinging grave
blackness enters my mind
cold enters me, and starts to grind;
 at my bones, inch by inch
away from the pain
i cannot flinch
it takes me over
inch by inch...

Matter Of Fact

Sound Is Only
Movement
In A Fluid.

No Fluid, No Sound.

Hearing Requires
Something Moving
Elsewhere 
In That Fluid.

Wet.
Gas.
Vast Expanse.

Emptiness and 
Totally Solid (But Motionless)
Share Soundlessness
Like: Twins.

       So?

* I Can't Possibly *
* Hear Myself Think. *

       ***

That Must Be: Magic
        Or 
An Absolute:   Lie.

Music Silenced

Songs of one's life time
drift on - without soul.
There is no tune that can carry.
Lyrics - but empty words,
words that lie upon pages,
pages without a voice to enlighten.

Spirit, in search of a wave,
light years lost to soundlessness,
songs, never to be sung, never to be heard.
Life, lived among silent cords,
cords that strangle the essence
of one's, life's aria, one's composition.
