Silence

Some silence screams.
Speechless echos spill;
spiraling soundlessly
down my mind's corridors.

Sight obscured by scenes
sent to steal sleep and sanity;
slow motion stabs and stains
twisting deduction and imagination.

Sense of sinking slowly
through silty sands of sorrow;
uncertainty stalking my soul
and haunting my dreams.

Searched the Sea and Sky,
seeking signs of solace;
a slight scent of you seeping
from under a stone.

"Sense of sinking slowly
through silty sands of sorrow.."

Loved that line, I know the feeling so intimately. 'Sight obscured by scenes, sent to steal sleep and sanity, slow motion stabs and stains--' Also very vividly and candidly expressed. Sometimes our thoughts are so loud they deafen the hum of the rest of the world, challenging us to ignore rationality to focus on the chaos of an unsettled soul. This write is so moving, and it does flow very well, each line a prelude to the next stinging assertion. I hope you find your solace soon, if the seas and skies are too nonchalant to answer your call. I hope something, somehow, can assuage your melancholia. You deserve peace, dearest friend. And your poem is hauntingly good, the very essence of it sinks deeply into the darkest corners of my conscious, as I realize I succumb to much of the feelings you concentrate on here. Great work.
