Almighty Silence (+2)

Poetry…

Conduit

Of the truth

 

Speaker

Of the almighty

Silence

 

Last synapse

Of a feeling

Lost

 

Nerve ending

Of a forgotten

Dream

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)

 

Stigmata

 

Wringing feelings

Like a sponge…

The words dripped down

From my lips

Onto the page

  —staining my soul

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)

 

 

 

Is Your Aria Born Alone

 

Is it first the

Music

And then the

Words

Or do the

Words

Come first?

Elton John says it

Works

Either way

Bob Dylan’s

Words create

The meaning

That Ray Charles

And

Jimi Hendrix

Explode

Is all timing

Real

Or just

Imagined?

Is the structure

True or

False?

Do your words

Beget the

Melody

Or is your

Aria

 —born alone?
