Silenced By Awe

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)

Fall'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

Silences Silenced
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,

I 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
