Silencing love
Am I weak because I confess my deepest traumatic experiences with you?
Are you less of a man because you can’t understand the things I been through?
When all I knew was to be strong and hide everything inside, yet I confessed my darkest moments with you.
You proceeded to tell me I’m of age now

Silencing Sonance
Bewildering static
frames the soulless—
restlessly habitual, as
crippled philosophies efflux
amidst stunted swells,
cracked and parched
despite ocean whorls that
coat wayward sentiments, of
grave quagmires rippling in
steady streams,
paradoxically cornered into a
vortex of intoxicating drifters.
Rather, the moon guides my way
amidst lulling meres,
soothing the storms
raging within perplexed
personas, sailing towards a
dawning

Silencing the Storm
His love gentles the eager wind
Calming, inspiring – vowing
Peace within, a holy silence
Whispering grace into the soul
Wonders twirl proudly amidst dreams
His love gentles the eager wind
Uplifting the feelings so meek
Rustling verses sprout holy wings
Laughing streams burst forth, splashing joy
Over smooth stones, tender musings
His love gentles the eager wind
Stirring music from swirling leaves
Exciting praises write a

Tongue of Satan

Saving words

Silencing of the Heart
Something hard as a tree's shell
Delight as dew drop on spring flower
Tenderness of heart is to desire
Love, ambition,it can not be broken
Always the same even in dark
To dream is to fantasize
To live eagerly our heart beats
To love, eternal passion body boils
Kiss,soft and gentle upon your lips
Your curves

Silencing the Darkness
Worry shadows my mind
In flavors of panic
Anxiety and concern
A rich well of apprehension
Flooding my hope for serenity
Disquiet flows through my veins
In crimson agony
On waves of fearful plans
Fretting on the heart
Who troubles every thought
Uneasiness exaggerates
My placidity, my stillness
The silence that should bring
Fulfillment and wellness
Instead feels dark and dreadful
Burdens cling to my soul
Unending troubles darken
My heart’s

A Tale of Determination
When you hide the seething pain under a smile,
Making it look easy, to the people vile.
You eclipse the surging anger with a yes.
While masking your emotions fighting to resurface.
Being a victim of the nagging thoughts in the mind.
Speaking of the memories that were left behind.
Choosing to remain strong even when in pain.
Requires a will of

Silencing Light
Vision’s blurring around the edges now—
The perfect vignette for silent film;
The text screams bold inside your head;
The crickets wail from amongst the trees.
You’re the femme fatale in this deathly skit,
Doubling trouble with perfect smiles,
Charming your way through grim impasse:
To be or not to be.
Have you left enough clues as to your fate?
Will a savior know

The Silencing of Ben
The headline news this morning read
Ben's tolling drones will be shut down
while workers clean the cogs in his head
He might even get turned upside down
Old Ben will be out of ringing commission
for four years there will be peace and quiet
No gongs will be ringing in noisy emission
Ben's being put on a needed silence diet

Silencing the Innocent
Blood on every corner our youths are dying
I hear the innocent crying
When will the blood stop running
When will the guns stop coming
We need some change in the system
Exhausted from going to funerals and seeing mothers crying, no hope in their eyes
We need to stop the guns that's the only way to stop

Silencing the Questions
I think too much
But do I think at all?
I say too much
But I don't speak to all?
I see too much
But am I blind to what I see?
I feel so much
But is this reality?
I look at you and I love what I see
I need to look in your eyes to find the peace in me

Silencing the Mind
I just wanna meditate ...
Hovering along the coast
We're goin on a date
We're the birds in the vicinity
Babe never mentioning
me
probably
Bc of all the guys targeting
& we haven't talked in days
& it bothers me
Skimming threw the clouds
manifesting new realities
But it's challenging
Cuz all my dreams are facing

Silencing the Voices
I'm alone here
it's just me.
And the people in my head.
Screaming, cursing, blaming.
Your fault, you, you, you.
You caused it.
You allowed it.
You could have stopped it.
How?
Eyes closed, mind rewinding time.
Soft hands, a gentle smile
friendly eyes.
Hurt, pain, blood pooling on the floor.
Empty nakedness on cold tiles.
A locked door.
How? How?
Your fault, you, you, you.
You caused it.
You allowed it.
You could
