Scream softly,
and only your heart will hear.
Whisper loudly,
and all the world hears.
Painful memories,
forever playing on black and white screens.
All I know,
is everything is not as it seems.
Words of silence,
reaching deaf ears.
Falling from grace,
reality finally becomes a fear.
Tears of shame,
left to dry on a porcelain soul.
Crumbling love,
this world has taken it's toll.
Salty thoughts,
bitterly rubbed into my open wounds.
Earthy ropes,
have me gagged and bound.
Scream softly,
and only your heart will hear.
Whisper loudly,
and all the world hears.

Well thank you for the comment..much apperciated. I'm having writers block but it does the soul good is right. If you like what you see..then keep in contact.
That quote is kinda how life should be..just keep it day by day and you'll have a ball.

Z-X here. Excelently written. I also love the quote on your page. "A good friend bails you out of jail, while a best friend is sitting in the cell with you, saying 'dude, that was fucking awesome! I say we do it again on Wednesday!'" I totally agree. You seem well-rounded (in other words, you've got a lot going for you). You sound like my type of person (in other words, I like what I'm seeing). Keep writing, as it does the soul good.

*looks at you with tears in her eyes* this is beautifully heart wrenching!! maybe that isnt how you meant it.. but i loved it!!! you really should think about writing more baby.. you have so much talent and you should flaunt it whenever you can!!! i truly LOVE how you used the first stanza as the last stanza... it really tied it all together and made it just that much more powerful!!! your lines were perfect and flowed so cleanly!!! i love you sweetie

Beautifully woven... It was as I was reading this that I could overhear a faint, yet content melancholy voice of a woman singing this from the rhythm. Very good.

Glad you liked it!

Yeah I'm not too fond of rhyming like that either..but couldn't think of anything else. Thanks for your oppinion and comments they are really apperciated. Witht he earthy part I'm glad you took it and interpreted it in your own way to..that's what it was about.

it's more like whisper loudly and all hell breaks loose. sorry. this is a very good poem, by the way. i love it. it has a great message behind it.
-
I'm not to fond of ryhmes that go wounds/bound (the +s bit), but the poem flowed well. The stanza that was used to introduce the poem and concluded was fairly effective in setting the tone and the echo. I don't think Earthy is the best word to describe the ropes here, but then again that depends on the interpertation you gave it. I would have used 'mundane' myself.
Hope I was helpful. -
I think is very well written. I love you" salty thoughts" very original! keep it up!
-
nice!

Interesting poem..."whisper loudly and all the world hears" that was my favorite line...made me wonder how one could go about whispering loudly and getting the world too pay attention. I am of the belief that the world is generally blind to most things small....communicating art can no longer be done in a small, unique way...but to be successful must appeal to the larger majority...which really takes much of the creativity out of it when you sit and think of it...either way, beautifully worded piece and a pleasure to read.

Very deep. My favorite line,"everything is not as it seems." You got that right!! Good poem.
