SILENTLY SCREAMING I wonder sometimes I watch as people go by and wonder Closing my eyes I can almost hear their screams So silent in the day So silent in the night Sitting in a chair in an unknown part of town The hustle and bustle of life rushing past like a locomotive destined for nowhere Silently sipping my tea Silently screaming with them It’s the eyes It’s always the eyes They give everything away Their hallowed halls echo the screams Their hallowed halls contain the sorrow Why else do they cry? Because they know They know what lay within They know what the soul truly yearns for They know what it misses What it needs What it loves The silent screams from within tap at the window Tap to unhearing ears Like an old oak at the window of a small child who believes it to be monsters Monsters coming to take their life Forever tapping Forever screaming to the world outside The high-pitched whine you hear when all is quiet The faint voice that calls your name when no one is around The child within The child without The person you wished you always could be The person you wished you never became Those silent screams They echo in the night Like a cats mew in an empty field Singing to the moon |

"The high-pitched whine you hear when all is quiet The faint voice that calls your name when no one is around The child within The child without" Interesting formatting of lines. The title is very apt to above lines too. I just wonder, who or what could be "silently screaming" ? Conscience maybe? just guessing. Guess this is what we can say as poetic license.*smile* |

Very nice, indeed! I wrote a poem long, long ago entitled Silently Screaming. Ironic the way some minds think! Until...†The Divine Sinner† Until...alibaster †The Divine Sinner† |
