THE SILENCE WITHIN ME


THE SILENCE WITHIN ME

 

The silence within me, have you e'er heard?

Though, thou might not hear but thou did learned

How naked it is in our eyes so keen

How stark it is than thy words so sheen

It chimes so loud yet soft like bells in church

Or the winds in air whistles in ears

The silence within me echoes to lurch

In thy voice of thine left me in tears

As the nightfall comes, my silence’ awake

Like the owl’s presence in shady woods

But my teary eyes speaks, streams like a lake

Yet the silence within me still stood

Like a red rose, the silence inside blooms

Into a thorny, silent anguish

Fatally and grievously does this booms

In mine of delicate and languish

Silence within me is too dangerous

To bear than to bear wild escapades

And too treacherous to be clangorous

To face than to face thrown blades

How the silence come to speak, thou might ask,

How my tears spoke the torment inside?

Ask thyself how the deafness of thine masked

The chaos of truth of my down side

The silence within me, have you e’er heard?

Though, thou might not hear but thou did learned

How naked it is in our eyes so keen

How stark it is than thy words so sheen
