Out of silence

irritated in dumbness

Silence may speak a thousand words

in irritation, in anger, in boredom.

I've kept silent in desperation, in resignation.

To speak seems an effort useless and tiresome

when against an obstinate monologue.

My mind wanders to less trivial things

in the midst of a sermon, a lecture,

a tell-tale of worldly matters

and all that skips the watermark of my comprehension.

My mind heaves a sigh of relief

at silence from the opposite end;

as it starts working rapidly

voicing out fierce replies

all the while with my lips pursed into an impassive smile.

It gets onto my nerves

to be interrupted in the midst of my fantasies.

I rejoice in the trivial things of nature--

of love, of beauty, and sometimes

a black hole of nothingness.

It muses me how a void of heavy talk

could suddenly stir up words.

Words that seem to illuminate my valley of silence...

Words that seem to flow out so long as my mind is tepid and at unease...

Words that owe its birth to the sound reaching my hostile ears...

And when it stops, I'm out of my reverie 

and at the end of this page...

silent noise..... the silence that fills your head and makes you deaf because of how loud it is, i know what you mean, believe me, i do, it hurts, but it can also be a powerful weapon ;) think about it!

Silence is a noise we long to hear, quietly whispering nothing. Very nice.

"It muses me how a void of heavy talk

Many conflicts in the poem. Time to speak and time for silence. I had to read the poem a few times. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
