failed communication

your control has grown over the years
until it towers above me
we sit feet firmly
on the floor
you needn’t stand
for fear  
to send
me
spinning deep
into the impenetrable silence
of my anger

powerful stuff,

"your control has grown over the years
until it towers above me"

great poem,

"spinning deep
into the impenetrable silence
of my anger"

but I am reminded of a quote from Welsh poet
Patrick Jones
"There is eloquence in screaming".



 ------------------------
"Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too? "
Douglas Adams.

Small Black Flowers That Grow In The Sky

"You have your very own number
They dress your cage in its nature
Once you roared now you just grunt lame
Pace around pathetic pound games

Wanna get out won't miss you sensaround
To carry your own dead to swing your tyre tricks
Wanna get out here you're bred dead quick
For the outside,
The small black flowers that grow in the sky

They drag sticks along your walls
Harvest your ovaries dead mothers crawl
Here comes warden, Christ, temple, elder
Environment not yours you see through it all

Wanna get out won't miss you sensaround
To carry your own dead to swing your tyre tricks
Wanna get out here you're bred dead quick
For the outside,
The small black flowers that grow in the sky

Here chewing your tail is joy"

Ah! So much depth...
--------
Oh, angry one!
Oh, silent one!

I am scared, stand in fear
nay, not by your wrath, nor by your ire,
but by the silence that seethes with it,
cold, steely, mighty, cruel, painful pit...
----------

Nice work here corazon,
Enjoyed it, regards, sudhir

 Life is like a painting,
That in an art gallery is left hanging,
Though many come just to look at it,
A very few actually come to enjoy it.

WOW!
This is so well expressed with such little words.
I know this feeling all to well, and you expressed it for me,
better than I ever could have.
And wonderfuly at that!
Great Poem you have here Corazon!

What power...words!  All that vividness in 36 words.  Moving and soulful and gets right to the heart of the matter.  What a very wonderful piece of writing.  I look forward to reading others.
