It's This Silence...


As I walked in...


I did not feel:

Welcome ululation,

Or whispers of gossip-
That would ferry me from the portal
To the chair i wished to sit on.
Just silence...
Silence never heard before.
Its this silence that embraced me.
An improper substitute;
Lacking substance, reality or fibre-
In any emotional proof!
Camouflaged, hidden
Lacing the truth
***Just Silence ***
Without a glimpse of who is fooling who
Dealing with the old
Fusing with the new
Encircled around reality-
***This silence***
Subtracted myths,
To make truth the jewel!
***This silence***
Demystified mysteries,
So they could mysteriously create new mysteries...
Its this same silence
That mocked the truth by deception;
That took a ride on gossips effigy;
***Its this silence***

That ferried to my seat;
That welcomed me.
***Its this silence***
That you hear;
That I write;
That you read
***Its this silence***
That we live by
And never let those that matter know how much they mean to us.
So much said
Without a whisper made

  1. Its that silence
    Yet so quiet-
    The thoughts are loud!

    So clear your voice- they have already judged,
    A judgment passed in silence- whilst you were silent...

    ***Its this silence***
    That caused me to choke when i held the microphone

    That laughed out loud,
    and ridiculed me
    Till i was forced to map my way home...

    Its this silence
    When surrounded by many

    But realise you all alone...
    Its this silence...
    That made me a better person
    Cause i was silently forced to focus on self

    Its that silence:
    Others labelled it rude
    As it was delivered unorthodox and crude-

    But thats not news,
    To me, this silence
    Gave me a fortress
    Gave me a place of solitude

    Silence to become absolutely
    Silent...
    Yet louder than sounds of sirens
    Causing more commotion than scenes of violence
    Caught in a trance
    Of a frozen moment
    Continued existence
    In profound silence...

    Its this silence

  8. i saw the piece and heard the silence. Its a masterpiece, a piece of the master. I felt the chilling silence as i read it, to tell the truth, the piece is an oxymoron and i like it that way. It talks of the violence administered by lack of reaction. When 1 is expecting jubilation, or even an inferno, bt all they get is... 'nothing'. To be thats the worst kind of war 1 cn get, and u portray it perfctly. I love the piece, cnt take away anyting frm it.
