I Hear Nothing

When I open my heart, this is what I hear...........

         The silence, that has shattered the walls

          and left it devoid of the passion that once

                    dwelled within.

I hear

      the emptiness as it festers leaving

      boils of despair on defunct dreams,

           wiltering in the shadows of

                            blistering emotions.

 

When I open my heart, this is what I hear...........

          The pitter patter of sanity

           as it scurries through the

           the fading continence of my soul

 

I hear

     the darkness as it spreads

     the tendrils of pain, blinding

     the hope, the faith of forevermore

 

       I hear nothing.

    This is sad, forlorn, leaves the reader feeling the pain of your aloneness. I love the presentation but truly wish the font were lighter. These old eyes have a time seeing even with my glasses on. LOL A very heart-wrenching work here poet.

    Thank you ever so much for the time spent to enter my challenge. I wish you all the best.


    Much Love ♥

    Masterful

    I read your author page, you said you are not a poet. I think these are poetic words. This whole poem resinates with me and I think it's fantastic.

    My goodness, I'm very impressed. This poem is full of strong images, so powerful that it's like bathing in words or something. Sorry, rambling. But this poem really struck a chord with me... sometimes it feels like your heart is over but a little joy is all that's needed to lift you right back up again. Great poetry here, thank you for sharing your words.
