Somewhere Behind These Eyes

Neville

Somewhere Behind These Eyes

 

You can not punish me

With silence

My ears crave the hush

 

Neither can you hurt me

Now with poetry

For I am since blinded

 

And no longer crave or care

For words

So pray be still and quiet

 

Your moment is no more

But gone and truly lost

Such moments are but sins tho

 

At least they are in my book

And still in draft form

Somewhere behind these eyes

    Those words will forever be within you and within others as we read them on the page.

    • Neville

    • orchidee

      A fine write N. I won't punish ya with silence - rather with sound - of me singing! heehee.
      I'm cruel - I must punish everyone then! lol.

      • Neville

        just a little then go pop a purple pill or two... ta.. N

        • orchidee

          Aww, why I keep knocking my own singing, saying it's like two cats fighting etc? And why do I keep insulting cats?! heehee. Help! I took a blue pill or two - swoon!

          Words that break needed silence are but as this strong poem relates - a sin of sorts........... behind the eyes is where memory stores hurts....... An engaging read again Nev.

          • Neville

            Ah.. it seems you can see write through me our Fay.... many thanks for taking a peek under the surface....

          • dusk arising

            Reads like wishful thinking. The desire to forget that which haunts ones mind.
            Last verse is a nice twist.

            • Neville

              a twist in time saves nine or summat... cheers DA.. much appreciated as always sir....

              Broken words that fall on arid lands
              will no more grow again
              nor will the words you sow on unreceptive minds.

              Just had a little poetic moment inspired by your fine write N.

              • Neville

                I have been bested..... well done you Michael...

                • Michael Edwards

                  Not bested but appreciative .

                • FineB

                      Poignancy coming to life as inspired words fall on deaf ears answered with silence. A fine write, Neville!

                      • Neville
