Silence of my god

Silence,
Is the language of my god,
As he turns his face.

Loud screaming, deafening my human ears
While my soul screeches for divine sound.

Left my heart buried in the dying soil
While I look for answers in salty seas
Deliver my speech O mighty divine!
Offer me truth I most implore
Relieve the pain of loss!

For you I have fought my wars
For you I have wept my tears
Eternally yours I have promised my soul
Given it strength, fed it your words

Now, facing unbearable agony,
I beseech you,
And my creed is found in vain.
For you have shut your ears
And forsook me…

Again.

Simplify

To simplify my emotions
I write you stupid love songs
But love!
Easy words fall unworthy

Poetry withers at the mention of your name
Rhyme loses its musicality
And verses fall ashamed

Love,
You strip me off my education,
My talent and reputation
Oh sweetheart!
The more I try, the harder I fail…


I fail, Oh yes I fail
But failure boils me
It kills me
And death feels good
Death feels sweet.

So I'll shorten my phrase
For the sooner I shut lips,
The sooner you'll kiss me
So kiss me,
And silence the desperate poet
Pathetic at composing rhyme
Oh if only with every silence,
You would kiss me each time!
