Poem Commentary

I am not even sure what this one means, lol.

Silence

I awakened in the dead of the eternal night,
to a deafness of the angel's light,
Not even a whisper could be heard,
screams of agonzing terror,
cries of the children's songs,
just a pin drop of noise do I long.

Nothing but silence fills the the air,
Such a silence is the very agony of terror,
nothing but thoughts run through my minds sake,
please pinch me, am I awake???

The dreaded silence is all I could hear,
thoughts running wild into the night of fear,
Nothing but the silence draws me near...

There lies the darkness of my soul's fury,
I grown weary of the silence of the night,
i grow tired of my shadow's sight.

Such a slumber is a hell to be known,
a prison of one's life to be shown.

Nothing lies here,
but where is here,
but where am I???

I have truely going out of my mind,
the silence is like deaf screams of agony to my ears,
cries of the angel's bring saddened tears.

All that remains is the silence,
after everything is gone,
after all the pain,
after all the screams of agony,
after all the tears of torment,
all that remains is the silence of the eternal night,
dammed by the children of the light.

I now long for death,
So death came near,
and so came the silence for me to hear,
forever into the darkness do I see,
forever shall the eternal silence be...

Angel .. I hate to admit it .. but I have lived this one. My last 13 yr relationship ended with 6 months of Dead Silence. We coexisted without saying one single word to each other ... the actual silence .. trapped me in my own silent mind ... never again, never again! Ken

Been there and done that, the silence can mean many things to many people. In some ways I feel like part of me lives in the silence as I feel so disconnected from the world around me, kindof like watching an old movie. I can see everything around me happening like I was there, yet my screams find only the silence of my inner mind. Dead silence, havn't posted that one yet, lol. I wrote it about 3 weeks ago, lol. I will send it and a couple of others I think you will both enjoy. My soul my live in the light of love but my mind lies in the recesses of darkness... Purity of the soul, journey well!!! with grace and humility your friend ANGEL

Enjoy the silence... not so much here though, huh. It can have such an eariness to it when speaking about death though... "Eternal silence"... I don't even want to consider what that would be like...

Hell begins with separation from the Light, and you have added a new dimension of terror to the scene by rendering us bereft of sound as well...Truly a nightmare!!! Well written share!

Thankyou so much for the kind comments and words of wisdom. Coming from you that means a lot, i have great respect for you poetry, perhaps one day I may almost as good as you. I may not have the best form, rhyme, format, etc but one thing is for sure I write with emotion and passion. When I wrote this poem it was like 0400H and I was at work, just rambling thoughts in my head, I am not even sure what the poem means just yet, lol. Thanks again! Angel

Thankyou for the kinds words, I really wasn't sure if anyone would like this one, I wrote it half alseep at work at 0400H, I almost just deleted it, lol. It was just some rambling thoughts in my head, thanks again for the review! purity of soul, journey well!

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
