If the Sound can Hear
The sound arise from inner If can hear through ears, The remorse that make sinner Can look through the tears. The feelings that arise from soul If can see through skin, The secret that one's fall Can tell through the kin. The history that happened If can write correctly in books, The humanity that shakened Can show through one's looks. Then how world perfect seems Noone in trouble,noone...

The Sound of Bell
From where this story start Is a sound of house bell, Perhaps,couldn't accept this part But it had to accept me,this tale. when two dreams met together All restlessness started to arise, Not know about clime and weather Not try to know what is wise. Maybe,that one sound made loud Not exist that day,never this get, But when look back something round Missing in it...

Premium Member At the Sound of Your Bell
At the sound of your bell I rush to reply But it rings in the dream I see In a moment away it flies There’s no us in reality Once we were, then we disappeared Died for no reason at all But the sound of your bell I hear Be assured I have heard your call Comes the evening, the day is gone By...

Too Loud to Stay Loved
My tongue, a beast that bites me first. I wanna shut it down, never to speak again. My voice, a wild river, Yet keeps flooding, careless of consequence. My lips, in a race, while everyone hopes— “Would they ever learn silence?” My brain, too messy, Spills out without a thought. All cures, I’ve tried— Nothing worked. The words kept flying— Some hurt. Some haunt. Some hang in the...

The Sound of Heartbreak
A year of friendship, Destroyed in a single day, My heart is breaking as you drive away. Every memory of us comes rushing back to me, But something is different about them, They’re all full of sadness. My heart beats faster every minute, Longing for more oxygen, To replace the air lost as I hyperventilate. I can’t hear anything, Except for the sound of my...

The Breathing Universe
The tremor begins not in muscle or bone, But a stirring within, a seed that is sown. A current unseen, from the depths it does rise, A language unspoken, reflected in eyes. Before articulation, a feeling takes hold, A story unwritten, a truth to unfold. The breath, a foundation, a pillar of air, That carries the essence, the burdens we bear. Each timbre...

Sound, Words, and Other Deaths
The air turned black all around me and the fear truly set in. The darkness is surrounding. Who's to know what lies within? The voices spin, dizzying in my head. They repeat all those words to me. All the words they said are closer than memory. As my blood runs out, the darkness swirls around...

When Thunder Follows Lightning
The air hangs heavy, still, a silent shroud, Before a tremor cuts through the waiting crowd. A distant crack, a sharp and sudden tear, And then the rumble drawing ever near. The speed of sound, a constant measured pace, A finite journey through time and empty space. Yet in that limit, paradox resides, A delayed witness to what fate provides. The lightning flashes,...

Resonance
I hear the sound of clanging and banging from a distant source Like an orchestra of metal pots that have fallen on the kitchen floor which brings a ringing to my inner ear then a low vibration comes as I stand still This frequency happens frequently transmitting a language I've yet to unveil Creating a magnetic peace during its stay One...

Artistic impressions with timeless appeal, Diving into the ivory with an ebony appeal, Masterful and refined, passionate and elegant, This prolific child would forever stand the test of time. Innovative and refined, like a glass of cherry wine, He pushed every boundary, giving a glimpse of his life.. Smooth connecting notes, a trill, an accent, a chord, A silent yearning to...
