Prose, poetry and prattle: some published, and some ... well, not yet.

The Deafening Silence

It sings a mocking dirge
A melody untuned
Which rocks upon the earth
Unsettling every dune
And while the tides unfurl
A froth of hope and gloom
A precious little girl
Stands silent in my room.

So much was shared between
The wires of a song
But everything seems nothing
Since you won't play along.

Perhaps I should have not
had that facetious thought.


"But he that dares not grasp the thorn, should never crave the rose." - Ann Bronte
