OK... this one is weird, even for me.

It came in a dream the other night and for some reason stuck... don't ask me why I dream things like this I'll never know.


UNSPOKEN WORDS

Leaning on the Cherry Oak

                            Polished to a mirror sheen

Does he watch as the crowed does gather

Whispers fill the room

      Smothering many

As sneezes and babies cries break the silence

His wondering mind stands silent as his mother enters without pause

She takes a front row seat

                                     Looking down from his Cherry wood throne he sits up craning his neck to see

If anyone he did actually Like had turned up

No one it seems of any true importance

                                               Besides his mother

Tasteless  flowers adorn the room

He cared for nothing of the sort

So many people have come and now sit nervously

He could see it on almost all their faces

                                  They just wanted this to be over with

                                          The day is an insult to his life

He listens to their words

                                Their hollow words

So much colder than the wood he rests his head upon  

Lies dripping with guilt

                                If what they spoke were true

If what they tried to make all in the room believe

Then a Saint was lost this day

                                                No longer shall the world turn

The sun no more shall rise

                                           As the moon shatters to the four winds of time

Towards the end he slaps the cold hard wood

His mother looks up

                               Their eyes lock for a moment and she smiles

With a silent nod he blows her a kiss

                                   With a smile of his own he fluffs up the pillow

Their Unspoken words shall keep him hence forth

Closing the coffin lid

               Ready now for his Eternal rest

Thanks V2Bh.

I was tempted not to post it but thought it couldn't hurt.

Strange to one is normal to some.

I am going to be burnt so that I don't have to deal with the insult of being a sideshow. Burn me and spread me (hehe)

Thanks V2B.Your words as always are welcome.

Mystress May, have to agree with you on the burning, can't think of anything worse than being thrown in a box, being put on show then dumped in the ground.
