He hummed, but no one heard the melody curled beneath spoken noise. They praised his calm, his quiet, and manly things he always played. Never knowing his timely hush was a wretched note never sung aloud. He nodded, clapped in soft time, while his ribs beat a slow mourning tune. Some...

For Charles Messina's The Beatles-Lay It to Me Poetry Contest 2 June 2025 A shadow flits against the blue, A song of freedom, fresh and new.

"The stars beckoned her song to reach the crescent moon" In a quiet glade where the willows weep, And fireflies dance as the world finds sleep, A girl with cheeks like a rosy bloom Would sing to the stars by the silver moon. Her hair was long, like a raven’s flight, It shimmered soft in the hush of night. Her skin was...

"No one dare Disturb the sound of silence" Quote taken from the Sounds of Silence by Paul Simon. Echoes of a lingering quiet time, When no one hears the bells that chime. Through the abyss I feel myself falling. My voice cant be heard, although I am calling. Silence has deserted me...
