     then sounds of desperation
inspired by wisdoms presence
     awestruck I retreat into silence

When grief became a shadow

When grief became a shadow
It felt as if nothing else mattered 
Like a sudden darkness
Raining down upon us
Like sucking the light from our eyes 
Like a wound opened multiple times

It follows you like a stalker
Creepily walking behind you
Keeping an eye on your every moment
And when you think you outsmarted it
When you take a deep breath

The Silenced Voices Of Pakistan

She walked with dreams in her gentle eyes,
A future lit beneath morning skies.
But shadows crept where light should stay,
And stole her breath, her hopes, away.

Sawera’s name, now etched in pain,
A flower drowned beneath the rain.
Not by fate, not by some twist,
But by hands that evil kissed.

What justice lies in silence kept?
While mothers grieve, and sisters

A Melody Silenced

Ignored 
by my children
Especially
my daughter
Taken
for granted
Taking
up space

Living 
unnoticed
My pain
front and center
Checking
off boxes
That never 
erase

Knowing
she loves me
More
now than ever
My face
a reminder
Of greatness
long past

My voice
the last vestige
Of songs
sung together
A melody
silenced
When first
—became last

(The New Room: January, 2024)

Premium MemberFall's Silenced Soliloquy

Desperation clings to the branch
Wrestling with a frightened leaf
Begging a howling wind for more
Wondering why one leaf would fight

The wind abates, she sits alone
Desperation clings to the branch
Weeping in the hoar frost darkness
Beneath a cold, uncaring moon

Where had the color gone, the songs
the nesting birds, chirping crickets
Desperation clings to the branch
In Fall’s silenced soliloquy

An inexperienced

Thinking in the,
Absence of silence.

A droplet of ink, 
Can make millions think
Thinking in the
Absence of this silence.

Silence is being answered, 
From questions that have
Never asked?

It is silence, 
You do get
Pearls of Wisdom
Thickens, be it said. 

Don't plan on being helped,
For help has gone silent
When this book, sitting here
On the shelf, silenced.

Silences, be it that,
Standish one
Instead,

Premium MemberI Will Not Be Silenced

I will not be silenced, we have no right to kill the innocents
The Seventh Commandment says, “You shall not murder!”
I am saying we have no right to these instruments of murder,
for assault-style weapons are manufactured solely for killing.
When we go deer hunting, do we take an assault weapon?
I think not! We take the appropriate gun

Open the Floodgates

Locked up in stares
Silence is the teacher
Spread in bed
Time should forgive us 

You caress my troubles 
An invitation to my pleasures 
You awaken my senses 
Despite my inner seizures  

Your thrusts pound on the exterior
Body gestures for improvement
Attentive but less spoken 
You deliver to my inner 

My sounds, your melody
Your touch, my symphony 
Hands where

The Gambler

The Gambler
By Juno Byron

There lived a ruler
Wh'as a good gambler
tall as giraffe's neck
Silly slim handsome deck
Chaos his best friend

I myself have guns
They have become Jesus
On the cross - said
He ate cigga's da'ly
And rode on horses

In the slums when
He came they hid 
Pub books had his
name late in the
Night he came home

Silently silenced go'ment 'ficials
He was

Silenced

my mind
clouded like these skies
as morning arises
in misted breaths
in the wake
of her death

an envious wind
steals from the cavern walls
                                              ….an unheard echo.
