The silence


Affirmation and conformation
Deciphering beats

Are you pissed at me?
There is no need to be

Was that a tune on deaf ears?
A message left in a bottle

The text legible here and there
Everyone has problems

Even on a beach in paradise
Redemption applies some assume

Drenched in yesterdays
The Manipulation of quiet

Deciphering silence
Big dreams and hope remain

Scattered in ripped up pieces
Tossed about like ice cubes

Broken little stories
In a big distorted picture

A silent movie played in slow motion
Recycling emptiness

Irritating
silent subtleties

    This ... and Walking With Dress Shoes On are your best poems to date (just my selfish opinion).
