Short Voicelessly Poems

it hides its face, like the sun behind a cloud
it screams voicelessly, for me to turn around
I feel it close, but I will never touch
this elusive dream that I want too much

it resides in the shadows, hidden from the light
it's there for a second, gone from open eyes
it whispers my name,  it says "I love you"
but when I listen, I know it isn't true...

A misbelief
breaks into rags.
Still I dream of some gods
on black pages

piecing together the words
of light.   The rains come
in the  cage of tears,
voicelessly.

Striated muscles of splintered faith
go to cramps birthing 
the avatar
without a mother.

I will pick up now
nothingness
from the bounty of silence,
of a stunning question.

softly, whispering
featherfalls on silent stone
winter, gravity

lost in the fog, birds
grieving morning voicelessly
remembering love

dead diamonds, ditches
glittering cold promises
fossil furrow froze

darkness, deepening
the womb and the grave hiding
secrets and shadows

in the ground, waiting
the souls of springs children sing
muffled lullabies

The men of clay, mouths dehisce wide
     Voicelessly pass 
Arms at their sides; feet stiffly tight
     Perception dull
No meager light softens their skull
Inside my head their voices scream
     Nightmarish dream
The words conveyed I try to hide
Menacing threats infuse my ears
     Two bare knees 
Oblivion, morass of grey
Lethe embraces. Here I will stay.
