"Understanding"

Laughing... Crying...

Was I ever anything other than a row boat of understanding...

Was the load a toad that couldn't carry the weight of our laughing...

Might as well be cashed-out and standing in the rain

cause you feel no pain when trading me in for gains...

I'm alone and in vain I seek growth with a cane and rope

hope my choke can be caught before it hits the moat...

Rote slop of gropes in the dark

where was I when the mark missed its lark...

I'm hearkened to flop...

So start to stab me every which-way...

I'm heading for memory lane and it's a lame avenue of grain-free

now free but am a seed for the thousands of leeches infecting peaches... 

Molesting creatures...

Electing reavers...

So quiver and see this

hear wit betrayed

leap of faith

marmalade-aid and sated breath today...

Baked blaze and graze...

Now red-in-the-face I take a taste of fae-waste

 that pale-place when aced of graceless lace I hasten traces of pages placed... 

Intent I create craters in a maze of traitors

that bladed saber hater...

I hate her,

and savor another suitor forever suited for her labors   

Later, Gator...

I love it. You write on deeper issues and subjects.
Understanding surely takes a leap of faith, a humble ego and empathy. Those who listen intently seek growth.
Those who seek truth, seek wisdom.
Those who seek resolutions are peace loving makers.
Your poetic boat keeps on rowing to great horizons.

[apennylate]

I wish I had a boat...
Thanks, Sami, I appreciate it very much.
I seek truth, but it seems to come parcel with A LOT of extra baggage.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! 2 carry ons allowed by the airlines. They welcome you and your baggage.

I liked this poem my friend.

Silente,my Man You are brilliant. I love the narative style in delivery, the imagery that knocks on one thoughts and the wit and cleverness in the story told. Most impressive!

"where was I when the mark missed its lark...

Love that part.. always love using the words "where was I" in a poem, not sure why either, just do... great piece! And look at you Mister Popular! All these wonderful reviews on your poetry, about time people recognize you! Haha :)

[apennylate]

Hah, we share that like, then... "Where was I?"... I shall never know, for the wind blows all my tracks across the snow... Such a fun phrase to play with! Hah... Mister Popular, eh? I keep hearing that more and more lately... I just wanna write and continue to have people be inspired/want to write themselves because of it.... Thank you, though, for the review and wonderful compliment, heh

[Kesha]

"Where was I when people began recognizing you?" Ha! It really is a fun phrase might use it soon we shall see, currently working on a new piece.. and that's awesome, I just write just because it's become a part of me now :) and you are welcome!

[apennylate]

I think it has always been a part of me, ever since I was a kid I have wanted to write... I can not wait to see your new stuff, and thanks again! Keep being awesome as sauce!

[Kesha]

Yes same..I've been on this site since 2010 (this is a new profile, I didnt like the other one really lol) and I've been writing since before then. You're welcome and you keep being Grool. (great + cool)

[apennylate]

... A stunning explosion of word pairing... Mind=blown... You as well, lol

[mae23]

Love the way the lines trail off allowing the reader to imagine completing the thoughts themselves.

[apennylate]

Well, thank you, Mae... That means a lot coming from such a talented writer as yourself... Aye, a lot do not like the ellipses trains of thought I tend to use in my writing... But glad to know some of us still do... Hah

[mae23]

Haha, yes I really do like that kind of writing!

[apennylate]

Right... Tis' the best

[Salvatore]

Hi Silente,
I tried very hard to understand the meaning of your words but, as you know, I'm not English mother tongue and switched a lot of times the page of your poem with pages of translators. I'm gonna try more. But I just want you to know I read your poem and found it nice (for what I could understand).

[apennylate]

Wow, Salvatore, thanks so much... Coming from someone who doe snot understand a LICK of another language... That is impressive, and I wholeheartedly thank you, again, for the time and appreciation

[mou]

probably it's my first visit to your page..I can not decide how to express my thought with words over your writing..I take a repetitive reading on your write and more it becomes like a crawling picture of someone's thought..I wish I too can write like this!! profound write..

[apennylate]

Thank you, Mou, and you seemed to decide on a beautiful expression in the end... Anyone can write like this...! Just takes practice

[Priyanshi]

Wow, for this poem. Brilliant selections of words..you have a unique style to write poems and I really love that.
Keep on writing .

[apennylate]

Thanks, Priyanshi... That means the world to hear, you as well...!

[Priyanshi]

My pleasure.

[Tabby Mac]

Your creativity amazes me. I am not sure on the meaning although I have tried. But then I'm simple to a fault sometimes.
You are very talented though and I have fun reading your work even when it's way over my head! Well done!
Tabby

[apennylate]

Oh, wow, thanks so much, Tabby... It means a lot coming from such an expressive and wonderful writer like yourself... Simple is key, in my opinion... I never do anything more but construct sounds together... I appreciate you thinking it is talent, however remember that it is not meant to be over your head...! W/e meaning you give it... That is the true and rightful meaning, I think, and to underestimate yourself... That is the true simplicity...!
