Is a Poem one,
or a thousand words
The bee sting fatal,
—last shot unheard
(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2016)
Hear,
Before speaking the words
Unwritten
Speak,
After writing the words
Unheard
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2014)
Behind closed eyes,
the future still to mourn
Grieving in a blinded state
—orphans left unborn
(Dreamsleep: October, 2020)
The lips that speak
Those perverse words
Are often misspelled
Mostly unheard.

Your passion unheard
—words turn to prayer
Wishes now blessings
—hope in the air

Unheard Voices
the hardest choices
are those of unheard voices
which one will you hear
© 2018 Jeffrey Spencer
it's like a singer
performing on stage
without vocal chords
his words fall
hushed in silence
like a deafness
upon ears
that hear
Dismiss, Distort, Defend, Reverse.
The demise of my universe.
Unheard, unfelt, alone, confined;
frustrated, angered, hurt, maligned.
Hear…
before speaking the words
unwritten
Speak…
after writing the words
unheard
(Hotel Majestic Saigon, Vietnam: January, 2014)
It's often felt, but never meant,
my misinterpreted intent.
When men of straw force me to follow,
them, from truth, down rabbit hollow.
Bright midnight,
Tranquil moment,
Unveiling mysteries,
The unseen is known,
There’s a deluge of the unheard.
September 24, 2025.
a purple tree bloomed
in the south of Mexico
with plum leaves unheard
since her teacher's dogma held
all nature's best should grow green
what kind of conveyance can you use?
I had done nothing but confuse
Buck, Pontiac, Rambler or what?
words unheard of by my grandson Strut
I guard my words obsessively
what is said can never be unsaid
~ heard not ever be unheard

Actions speak louder than words
A saying I thought was absurd
Till Mom showed the way
If I don’t obey
The paddle tells things went unheard
Unnoticed
Unheard
Nobody listens to a single word
Lost
Gone
I can never move on
I wish
I pray
That they see me for who I am someday
Form:
It seems my thoughts are left unheard
Though I scream them in the crowd
with all the others screaming too
its as though I do not speak aloud
I asked again for everything…
she gave nothing in return
A jilted strand of loneliness
—unwoven and unheard
(Dreamsleep: December, 2020)
The little people pray for peace,
The supplication goes unheard…
The Christian nation’s bombs increase,
And soon the dove’s a dead white bird.
Waiting for time to catch its breath,
I wrote the words unheard
My verses most unwelcome
—the future untoward
(Dreamsleep: February, 2020)
Unheard words
Whispered secrets
Keep your lies
Hide your gossip
Let me not see
Close my ears
Shut my eyes
Stare me down
I won't see
Dora's cat goes outside
On a chair she sits with pride
Enjoying her view of the birds
They are in the grass unstirred
Chirping happily is unheard
Unchained from the structure,
enslaved by the words
My voice to the wind,
—freeing silence unheard
(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2016)
