Silence Is Golden Poems

Silence is golden or, so the saying goes.
But what is silence? Absence of sound, unspoken words, the stillness of the night?
Silence is a miracle of things.
Silence is a quiet serene place, a retreat from a noisy world.
Silence is a calm...Read More

Silence is golden is a phrase from the past
Things have changed, need to rant, rave and blast
To be heard above the din
Much to our chagrin
Civility in the world has gone to the dogs fast

Of Exploding Poetic Purpose

Capped festering words exploded—
spilling out over my mind—screaming  
and streaming thru the forest of memory;

They say that silence is golden
but the voice of the inked word
is priceless—beyond assessment.

The gift of scribing the word
is the greatest gift...Read More

Silence is Golden
3/13/2016

Without the phone’s ring or any door emitting sound.
When thoughts on paper don’t appear too redundant,
And silence wouldn’t require a shelter underground.

Beware, social media a worldly platform,
Blameless, guilty wannabes shower esteem,
Heady headlines bathing in common manure.

Knowing one’s neighbour.

Selfie, groupies searching for public reason,
Poetry kindled reframed and lovers bonding,
Gossip transferred digital nonsense bemused.

Silence is golden.

Some of our best conversations
    Were when no words were needed

Hey, you, ignoring my cloud,
	Your silence is so shrieking loud!
		They say silence is golden...but not always true
When it 'speaks' from a jealous heart.

Hey, you, ignoring my cloud,
	Your silence is so shrieking loud!
		You don’t like something…
			Say nothing…that’s good.
				Like something too much…

Empty sentries standing firm
Vacant windows glistening
they sit with Poe, Van Gough and Edvard Munch all broken
waiting patiently ears open, silent screams, nothing spoken
empty library of learning, all that is beauty and wisdom...Read More

Silence is golden,
I seemed to have forgot,
It was great what we had,
Then the words ran out,
I felt the need to fill the void,
But all that did was,
Make you more annoyed.
When I ventriloquized you,
I just wanted to romance you,
And go back...Read More
