Volume of Silence

A little something I put together over the silence I am getting from someone.

A pin drop,

The echo,

A cacophony,

A destructive harmony,

To bleeding ears,

Wanton of ringing,

Fading melody,

Even a simple whisper,

To escape in measure,

A precipice of madness.

 

Caged in silence,

Banging of head,

Against bars of empty sighs,

Barren ground below,

A flat-line waveform of hope,

Screaming to be heard,

A titular lion’s roar,

Carried forth,

On atrophied vocal chords.

 

Taken captive by drum beat,

Not of your own,

Held in place,

By a simple silence,

Commanded by another,

Chained of empty words,

Mired in this quietus,

Haloed in this dead air,

Sulking in a mute reprieve.

 

Shaking your fist,

A rising resonance of rebellion,

A personal war chant,

In this pitch battle,

Shattering the iron curtain,

By speaking softly,

Murmuring twisting the key,

Liberation given by inner voice.

 

This song only know,

A hymn strait from the heart,

By a choir found deep inside,

Needing no accompaniment,

Operatic tones filling the air,

Trumpeting a solo this day,

Music to walk out to,

Resonating notes of the soul.

"Caged in silence,banging the head"- this lines shows the desperation. The much awaited reply but all you are getting is the brooding silence.. Liked the ending.. The silence still echo in the soul.. Nice write :)

Thank you Sophy - sadly the situation didn't change but I always can write more.

Love the use of words herE :) and as someone with synesthesia (i can see sounds; some of my senses are melded together) i think your words ring true to how the sounds resonate and paint pictures on our hearts.

Thank you - I just write from the heart really. Tends to give the beat results.

it does :P I've agonized over an idea for hours and then given up on it; then i come back and whip it off in ten minutes simoply because i found a way to approach it, and wrote it from the heart without looking back. My 'broken moon' poem comes to mind as a perfect example

Will look into if I have not yet - my novel is eating up a lot pf my time.
