Silent Blues
From a silent cat
Silent through the night
Inside stormy weather
No doubt
Inside feeling strange
And looking through me
Everything is happening so fast
Like a picture
On a movie screen
Silent films
You can see
But you can feel
What you read
My heart won't let me say
What's true
My mouth won't open up
To articulate who's to blame
My mind has such a heavy load
And it's task is to perform
The silent mode
I can't feel anymore
And I can't explain
I know you'd understand
But I can't help feeling this way
And in my mind
It's a scary thing
Not knowing who you can trust
Who you can turn to
Is a crazy thing
So my soul
Is crying out
Singing the silent blues
My poems reach out
And catch a melody
When no one's around
My pen and paper connect
Beyond measure
In a most intimate
And powerful way
The relationship between
My open letters
Is clearly greater
Than another human
Can mend
My broken heart
And though it goes
Unoticed
I smile
Routinely
I hide my sorrow
Through the laughter
I get so excited
When I feel like nothing
And after all the hurting
And wanting
Pretending
And faking like nothings wrong
I go un heard and
The silent Blues
Takes me away
Like a thief in the night
It takes me away
On a journey
Endlessly
Upon green pastures
And beautiful days
Green grass
And clear blue skys
And looking at it's nature
I'm mezmorized by it's precious
Precious innocence
That could never be replaced
And I notice all that is around me
My eyes
Conceil the pain
As I have taught them to do
And my mind only recieves
Positive vibes
Replaces the old with the new
So once again
The waves
Float upon the rage of the sea
Inside of me nobody knows
Except for the Creator and me
That at night I sing my silent blues
And in the day time
I replace anger with joy
And become a leader by choice
Although it's hidden in my voice
The mysteries
That I have no choice
But to not focus on them
The mysteries that still haunt me today
That reveal to me unkind secrets
Of a certain time and place
I tend to keep it tucked away
In my Silents Blues
....
For another day
Desert Storm
From a silent cat
Silent through the night
Inside stormy weather
No doubt
Inside feeling strange
And looking through me
Everything is happening so fast
Like a picture
On a movie screen
Silent films
You can see
But you can feel
What you read
My heart won't let me say
What's true
