Silent Pain

Another great photo prompt from the noodlebumble, thanks! ♥

Silent pain screams volumes

in the middle of the night 

it blares like a herald'd trumpet

by day its sound blatantly echoes

lost the words to speak

or convey the angst within

stuck in a flutterby's cocoon

with no metamorphosis in sight

Nothing is quite as frightening as midnight thoughts, as you so put it. They have no meaning, they have no pattern nor will they be able to be fathomed into recognizable constellations. The thoughts just exist, let themselves be known in deafening silence that could probably drive a person to insanity. Well done, fine portrayal indeed.
Might I also say the visual aid only enhanced my personal emotions drawn from the poem? The poem and the picture compliment each other well.

Alone in the dark, with dark thoughts, what could be more deafening, thanks so much for your gracious review Tai.

I was about to give review but when I scrolled down I've read Tai's comment. I cannot say more, he said it all.

Now this silent scream you have shouted to us will go to my favorite shelf. Thank you for sharing, Frieda.

Ahhh yes, pain. The beast has no mouth or tongue, but has its ways of getting your attention! Your title grabbed mine, so I just had to say hi. Great piece of work, my friend.

to be trapped with no hope of metamorphosis. there are those lonely moments in a night that don't leave when the sun rises.

"stuck in a flutterby's cocoon
with no metamorphosis in sight"... I truly felt this line, and related to those words the instant i read over them. Powerful imagery here, Frieda.

It reminds me of a lost emotion where every thing in you screams even though you in yourself have not even the strength to speak. maybe one day we'll just lose it and scream like mad people .....well written poem Frieda well done

Silence speaks louder than words. You expressed this beautifully in this poem. I like the last two lines most of all. The idea of a flutterby (butterfly?) frozen in a silent scream sent shivers up my back. Bravo for this wonderful piece!

Yeh .. not bad .. it's cool to read. Today's life's a life of being afraid of everything what's right .. and not to speak for rights .. silence scares in nights in the suite of dark-nights and the pain pierces in the body to wrench ever inch of the body if we don't speak what we should speak ..

Nice write, keep on.

Very powerful, I'd have to say my favorite part is this:

"Silent pain screams volumes
in the middle of the night
it blares like a herald'd trumpet
by day its sound blatantly echoes
lost the words to speak
or convey the angst within
stuck in a flutterby's cocoon
with no metamorphosis in sight "

I can relate to this... Excellent and beautifully written piece.
