That is dead which
Can no longer arise
Or the look coming from
The depths of colorless eyes
That gaze upon one
Who is suddenly so despised

Yet speaking the truth
With words at first fair to hear,
But cascade increasingly
Into tired and broken ears
Pursuing with relentless fervor
The sound of audible tears

Silence is to blinding light
What darkness is to a shout
As dying is to living
From hand to open mouth
And holding back in suppression,
Explodes two fold when finally let out

The eyes are not alive
The ears are closed
And mouth opened wide

if one reads this very slowly, and then reads again,

one finds that one must breath, because holding one's breath hurts....

does beautiful anquish make any sense at all?

Excellent write....

Definetly brilliant. What a wonderfully poignant piece!
