Secondary Silence (2005)

(drawing by me)

 

Those words… they struck me like ice.

                   I was swept away by a cool winter’s chill.

                   A preposterous uttering that escaped your subtle lips

                    �"  Agitated my undulating blood

                  

                   I’ve been searching for something far from my grasp

                   Yet, I refrained from being subjugated to its folly

                   Never could I comprehend its meager motives

                   �"   Oh how I hated �"                 

                   How I hated the reactions 

                    �"  Those enlightened faces from a statement so trivial

                  

                   They are only words �" just words

                   Never would they be expressed towards me

                   Away I was, always drifting further

                   The void never dissipated

                   Still, I continued to gaze at that something never yearned for

 

                   And then the crashing waves began to caress

                   The light gaped from the horizon

                   There are some whispers that cannot be forgotten

                   Even a broken mirror reveals a new reflection

                   From now on, I won’t be searching beyond the sea

                   All along, it was standing before my presence

                   I finally see the radiance because of

                                Those words… you spoke �" to me �"

Wow, I really enjoyed this poem. I like how it flows for some reason. One part that stuck out to me, " Even a broken mirror reveals a new reflection" That one statement says a lot. Really great job on this poem, I enjoyed reading it. =]
