Silence of Discontent

 

Silence of Discontent

 

I did not close my eyes that night
just my heart and mind
no voice to utter my profound protest
my intense thoughts, my mixed emotions
of which I felt at that time

hence, my profound silence of consent
gave birth to my tormented soul
'twas the silence of my discontent
as a wisp of wind I let you go

ever since, the sun stands
quite still in distant skies
and sleepless nights stay just as long
as shadows dance and cast pictures
hauntingly unreal, to fool my eyes
blocking reality's visions which belong

O', if I could only say
'I've grown my wings,I want to fly!'
I'would search to the ends of the earth for you
but I've not reached that higher plane
as fire leaps and burns ,nocturnal forces claim
my sullen soul in grey ashes,of disoriented view

'Alas, suffering and regrets plague
my heart~my soul~my mind,and more
in a cosmic universe so vague
'Tis my fate!~ the awful truth
of which I can bear no more

Reviews

[Christopher 'Windstorm'..]

one word describes this in whole...."BEAUTIFUL!" i love how you use old style words and make it feel comfortable and cozy, the images that you bring to life are those of love and longing. i know how you feel and it gives it that much more depth. the complexity is beyond what i am use to but it does not take away form you wonderful words.

my favorite lines where:

O', if I could only say
'I've grown my wings,I want to fly!'

i cannot count how many times i would love to just fly away in to the arms of the one i want to love. this is an instant classic in my book

Absolutely STUNNING! I LOVE this one! Just gorgeous really I could sing its praises for days on end and still never reach the complete extent of the priase I think it deserves and I am more than honored that you entered this in my sleepless nights contest!
