Forced Under

The silence of a letter
The stillness of a cry
The wrenching of war-broken hands
The bleakness of a sigh.

The cruelty of the heartbeat
The joy of breathing life
The emptiness that's left behind
The wound opened by knife.

The hope of a reunion
The pulsing light of thunder
The loving words that pass one's lips
When life forces you under.

Please tell me what you think

    This is chilling! I really like the rhythm that you have maintained throughout this poem - and I like the rhymes the background is an interesting choice - I really like the different interpretation that it places upon the poem well done!

    Keep writing
