Agonizing Silence Dwindles to a Mere Hush
I don’t know you like that
Really,
I would love to stay and chat-
Really, I would
But I must be leaving
Try me some other time
Perhaps tomorrow evening?
De-
Escalating
Words,
Tumble to the floor
Rendered irrelevant
They will speak no more
Select, choose, opt
Pick the best response
There are only two options
Say yes and you will surely burn from the sun
Preference involved
Adherence to the directive
Interrupt the floating perspective
Born against the odds of a faulty contraceptive
Intercepted-
The communication became privileged
Reach out,
To conflicting ideas
Combine the smiles
With the God-awful tears
It only becomes worthwhile
As the wind picks up in speed
Delivers a message
With vigor and intensity
A simple observation-
Of concealed hostility
Disengage
From authoritative-
Control
Integrated passion
Fusing the parts with the immediate whole
The tough tool-box
Soap suds, discriminate
Moss covered rocks
Begin to disintegrate
What do people agree on?
What did you ever do right?
Do me a favor,
Hit the lights…
Diffuse,
The wired explosive
Ascetically pleasing
Blood-splattered walls
The shattered gloss
From the window pane
The glass splattered into shelves that collect the rain
And all is left to the silence
Which will always remains
Loyal to its ruler
The hushed screams of pain
