The Silence

The silence
in my life is deafening,
It rips
through my grieving soul.
With relentless tranquility
it frees fear and anxiety in my mind,
I can hear my heart beat,
Pumping
life through my veins.
Eyes closed so tight
stars appear in the void,
I inhale
the calm thoughts of you
and expel my impurity.
I am so very alone
in a dark world.
My light flickers softly
with airless fragility.
I fade;
Losing the will,
Willing an end.
Each breath eases my pain
as reflections of the past
flush through my star-speckled dullness;
Reaching for me,
Grasping for consideration,
I am suffocating in the stillness,
Drowning.
Hoplessly I drag myself
back from the edge,
through the tears and the sweat,
into another day,
without you...

Yet another lovely poem, Firebird, packed full of emotion. My favourite lines:- My light flickers softly with airless fragility. I fade; Losing the will, Willing an end. Much enjoyed. Tina;-)x

I agree Tina - a lovely poem, indeed, Firebird. My favourite lines:- Each breath eases my pain as reflections of the past flush through my star-speckled dullness; Reaching for me I had to read it again to realise the stars came from the tension in the closed eyes. There are always reflections dyed by hope or dispair and fighting for attention... yet we get through!
