Silence

it is all that you imagine

In the midddle of winters night

the owl no longer hoots

for the tune is frozen to the beak

 

The trees shiver naked and bare

no sound is heard

no rustle of feret on the prowl

not a leaf disturbed

 

In the distance the city sleeps

waiting for the suns weak rays

to awaken man and beast

 

No car engines no toot toot of a lonely train

not a single plane in the star sky

no music from the all night cafe

 

And the sun woke up

to the first

silent day.

I don't think I would like that very much actually, although here you have made it sound so frigid and pristine, a cold beauty, like sunlight on snow. I would miss the crickets & birds singing and the rustling of nearby furry things. Beautiful expression, but no, not as I would like to imagine my silence to be.

This of course would be the silence after the the Holocaust. ..ie extinction.

[Corset]

Men will kill themselves off with war, and there will be silence of a different kind, the beautiful kind, the kind of the night song and the morning chatter of tree tops.A Blissful silence.The beauty about life is that even after a Holocaust, the seeds will remember the sun and find a way back out of the dark, trees will grow and birds will come.

[linear]

Personally I don't belive it will ever happen. ..but if you're right, I do hope so.

[Corset]

who really knows? personally, I think it already happened actually a very very long time ago.When the orange men disappeared.

[linear]

Well at least the purple men are still around. :0)

[Corset]

and how they love to wear flowers in their hair

[linear]

Haha...don't forget the bells on their trousers. .... I remember it all sigh....

[Corset]

or their watermelon toes, how adorable was that! Loved the seventies, those pants we called Elephant ears they came after the bell bottoms, I liked them better than the rendition of those now a days that fall off the hips, ugh,I want to tell them " pull up your pants please!" :D

[linear]

Lol ditto, they are awful. ...why would anyone wish to view my underwear ugh....bring back Woodstock.

[Corset]

[linear]

[Corset]

[Corset]

oh yeahhh! og course!!! never knew the name!
I love that song! Good one!

[Corset]

If music be the food of love
Then laughter is it's queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bed

this is exquisite imagery that flows beautifully both intellectually and visually.. it captivates you with such a gentle tone and sets this enchanting mood that reaches out and grabs the reader's attention until the very last silent breath.. impressive.. I thoroughly enjoyed this piece.. you are truly talented.. cannot wait to read more..

[Kitalia Emme]

I imagine the soft ashes falling like snow. The silent and surreal world in a sad and haunting beauty that is nothingness. Shadows cast only by the memory of what once was.

I love this. I truly love this.

[Wórdsmíth]

Oh, this sounds quiet fascinating to read! Very beautiful imagery you`ve plotted here.. around your words. Liked it. Keep it up!

[linear]

Thank you for the time.... I rarely write here now...no time you see...may I ask your first language?
I will try my best to reciprocate in the coming week.

[Wórdsmíth]

Well, First off, yeah.. "Eng." is not my first lang. but i`m very good at it. And, secondly, I don`t think "now" to tell anybody.. what`s my native lang. Sorry .. it doesn`t matter to tell it to any "stranger". I know, you, may be, ain`t like my "reviews" .. (Yeah.. i`ve read your review you`d left on one of my poems. I`ve even figured it out since the first day i`d read your stuff and you couldn`t understand the meaning of my review i`d left "on one of your works" .. so, you know what i`m talkin` about).If you don`t like my reviews, you may simply say that... don`t whir the question. I don`t think, there was any need to disrespect me. Anyway, thanks for spoiling my day.

Ps. Yeah .. Give your best. Keep writing. You write very good.
Now me too, think that, shouldn`t write "HERE" much now.

Anyway, i`m not here to make any mess with anybody so, as a writer, yes.... I do "Apologize for writing you bad reviews."

[linear]

Oh dear, sir it was not my intention to show you any disrespect. ...
That kind sir is not in my nature.
Please except my profound apologies.
I'm truly sorry to have upset you :0 (

[linear]

Ps...bad reviews or good reviews are all to the good...bad reviews make me pay more attention to my words and good reviews well are just that.

[linear]

I've never asked nor will I ever ask anyone online for a rela...nor have I asked anyone for contact details.....are u for REAL?
I rarely come online...this is one of the reasons why....!!!

[Wórdsmíth]

It doesn`t matter you use this site regularly or not, what does matter is "how you use it". And, as far as, it`s concerned `bout "contact details".. Yet, we`re not great friends so, I don`t think ... there`s any need to tell any stranger `bout “contact details”... but yeah, we can be friends with time. After all, we are not average people, we are writers. I`ve always believed that---"The value of a “hearts” can only be known "with time". And, I`m not sure, dear linear that you like my "stuffs" or not... but with the depth of my heart, I`ve every second admired your stuffs .. whenever I spent my time with your scented pages.

However, there`s very bad habit in me for that.. for what, most of the writers love me and hate me at the same time (oh, I don`t think, anyone hates me except "you.. linear") that.. I just love reading stuffs that "contain" some value for "Words" and such things i`ve found in your work, so .. I got high for reading your poems. But, you took me all wrong and disrespect me but anyway, i`m glad you feel apologize for that. And, the God daily tells me that-----"forgive" the people for what they do and accept their apology if they feel sorry to you with their fluffy heart because, you`re nothing without `em.” .. And, I always admire it. So, I adore you as well, linear.

To me, kind ones`re always appreciable with the fathoms of my notorious heart. If you didn`t like my reviews, I again apologize for that. I do use this site regularly for daily basis, not for making any kinda "mess" with you writers (To be frank, as far as if the writer`s as beautiful as you, Miss linear) but to have a great cup of time with ya all cold muses; spending my time in reading and having some conversation with you, needless to say, related to "Writing" to inhale the new breath of.. with your aroma; to explore the new thoughts of the "world" with “peace”. So, I think, we all should respect each other instead of doing anything else that creates any kinda trouble in between two hearts.

Ps. I`m not sure, you`re again disrespecting me or not but.. Actually, I “again” don`t think that there was any need to use "exclamation" sings.

[Brenda Keach Bradley]

the poem tells of a cold and silent world...as if the world has stood still....no sound is heard but silentance....it bring to mind a scary thought that maybe some day the world will come to a stand still n there will be nothing left.

[linear]

You read well my thought, ......

[Autumn]

Simply beautiful.. You've got a great style and manage to provoke a cold and soft emotion at the same time.

[Wondering Mind]

Oh yes, I've been where you took me.
