Silent Word

The saddest sound I ever heard
Came from the deadened, silent word.
A look of nothingness in eyes,
When words non-loving reached my sighs.
And how I gasped to breathe the air,
To purify that deadened stare.
Forget not ever, the shock unheard.
From deadened look of silent word.

It reached into, turned inside out,
The crying words, that could not shout.
Instead they numbed me, thoughts and feel,
Such words of hurt, that seemed unreal.
Muted, dampened, soaked in tears,
Now left behind those youthful years,
When happiness and loving thrilled,
His deadened eyes, have all but killed.

But say I, to myself in thought,
A present to me, soon be brought.
For wishes, dreams I've had, but few
In want of making memories, new.
Released from mind soon, hurt of old,
Making room for words that mold,
To treasure keep, the silent word.
This time, of loving only, heard.

Beholding soon, your pair of eyes,
Blue pools that drown me into sighs.
Surrounding me in silence sweet,
To coat my thoughts in warmth, complete.
With touch of gentleness, your song,
Will slowly turn, to right the wrong.
And in my silence, love shall reign,
To shower me, in life, again.

Dear Wynter; I was so touched by this beautiful poem. My interpretation is that your childhood was painful, as mine was, and you have risen above it, dealt with it, and blossomed in spite of it. Love, Ellie

Denise- glad you could enjoy  

Ellie- my childhood was the best that I can recall, although one of many children. All necessities were met and my parents were always there for us. My words were about my second life...the married years...one resulting in silent hurt and non-words of aloneness ending most recently what I thought to be a wonderful life...although fraught with a year or two of abandonment of loving. I am sorry your childhood was  painful, and I hope  the present and future holds only joy and fulfillment for you. huggz for your thoughtfulness

Why hello there!?!

This was great....you described the past few months of my life. Made me feel right at home to know others feel like me.
