Lost In Silence!

Lost In Silence!

A Poem by Bonaventure Onuabuchi

I've lied pertinently to, and; in earnest.
Spending so much to nurture my fear.
The things virtue forbids; I've done.
There has been much harm to love.
Many times, the hurt obtrudes upon my thought.
And each time, I realise the need to dethrone my deterrent,
I only succeed in talking at lenght.
But virtue wouldn't parallel such truth
Like talking much while saying nothing.

I know I haven't seal my lips.
It's the right words to fill the gap that I fear to unfold.
They are too heavy for my mouth;
That's why I always leave them for my heart to her ears.

It's now silence and noise, and they couldn't concord.
And the silence is louder than the rival,
Creating a pantomine; and odd fruition!
Imagine! Dying in silence, though;
I have been talking much
But, 'I LOVE YOU' hasn't be among those echoes!

I like the poem. Honest and good thoughts.
"It's now silence and noise, and they couldn't concord.
And the silence is louder than the rival, "
In silence, we can get lost. Better to make our words alive and strong then to fade away to lonely and dark places. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Wonderful and heart felt, bravo. It is inspired by and aches for what love relieves. There is a wisdom to your writing, poetry that is deliberate and precise with what to exude or feel, makes for a potentially masterful artist. It is like taking a nice walk with you and your poetry, its honest and I believe every bit of it. Thank you.

This is a heart-wrenching plea for forgiveness and a prayer for all to be right with the world once more - only those three words can save this now and if they are not forthcoming then perhaps they never were meant to be passed between the two former 'friends'.
Loved the pantomime analogy - very ascerbic
well done Bonaventure.
