Not today, perhaps tomorrow

Silence,
eradicated my words.
Extracting them,
what would I gain?
In my pain(which is indescribable),
I sufficate.
My heart,
is pierce.
In the meantime,
I smile.
No one can know,
my sorrows.
Not today,
perhaps tomorrow.
I breath,
just enough to live.
My mind,
I keep occupied.
Is this insane,
can I just walk away?
Not today,
perhaps tomorrow.

A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes.

Nice form to this poem. Substance I can taste and feel. When you are ready, open the door to the sun and fresh air, until then - peace.

I liked this one alot--it did remind me of a Spanish friend I had once whose only answer to the question "when" was "manana"--and finally in frustration, I told him, but you told me you "manana" yesterday!" He laughed and called me a gringo, and said "manana does not mean "tomorrow"--it just means 'not today.'" Hope that I returned the smile for you!

Heartfelt poetry, but sometimes silence is not golden. Joyce
