Hush

 


The hush of the room

fell heavy on my emotions.

Lead weight fear flowed

like rumbling oceans

over the salty grave of my tears.

Every severed rain drop

that fell from my clouded eyes

landed with a crash.

Echoing through the silence

like shattered glass.

I wanted your breath.

Just to hear that delicate

sipping of air.

but alone

the silence is almost

too much to bear.

 

The chill summer air

sits empty.

No birds. No wind.

No winged angels

singing to the heavens.

Just silent surrender

to the pain that never lessens,

a fading memory

of a floating

ember of yesterday's flame,

of a sun blessed holiday

that is drifting swiftly

into fantasy.

Like a dream unlived.

a fallen moment

where my heart broke forever,

It used to beat so hard, the sound so vivid.

but now I barely remember

what it felt like to live it,

to hear its echoing chambers.

To feel its kiss.

 

The soft embrace

of a summer day

has now become a shrug

as it pushes me away.

Its sweetly spoken words now unheard

like I’m in a soundproofed room

just observing the world.

I see it still moving. 

I see lips talking

but I hear no loving

words of comfort.

I just hear silence,

the hush of a cinema

with no movie playing

and no audience,

murmuring in excitement

at what joys it may bring.
