Before Nightmares Begin… #Poetry
#Silence
Impossible… #Poetry
Paper roses Red running blood Every petal a broken heart Hell is where love cannot enter Impossible marches away Silence that hurts, nailed on a blackboard Turning day into night Open doors wait Run, do not enter Inside the Carrion crows wait to pick… ©AnitaDawes2022
In Silence… #Poetry
#The Sunday Whirl ~ Wordle 489 ~ #Poetry
When silence comes knocking like a jackhammer
It’s time to run
Check your bank account
It may not be a good time to take a risk
So shelve that new idea
Don’t let that heavy metal feeling bend your spine
Shake the cobwebs from your mind
Try not to step into it when crossing the yard
Shower, soaped, you dry yourself down
Your mind wrapped in a haze
sleeping within the sound of silence…

Silent Sunday…
Time Again… #Poetry
Time Again
Why do you go where I cannot follow?
Must I travel this dusty road alone?
Why must I live in the eye of the storm without you
where silence beats in time with my heart.
Could I wake one morning where time has reversed
To find you lying beside me
Ready to travel the road again…

#The Sunday Whirl ~ Wordle 463 ~ #Poetry
Dark clouds cross my horizon
Screaming with want
I dread the crash at their journeys end
I inhale, hold my breath
No air in my lungs to shout, to scream
As the room fades around me
I feel no panic
as giant dust clouds creep towards me
A strange billowing entity
Now I feel it, the silence inside my soul…
