silence & i 11 Comments

if i cried out loud
over sorrows i've known
and the secrets i've heard
it would ease my mind
someone sharing the load
but i wont breath a word

while the children laughed
i was always afraid
of the smile of the clown
so i close my eyes
till i cant see the light
and i hide from the sould

i can hear the cry
of the leaf on a tree
as it falls to the ground
i can hear the call
of an echoing voice
and there's no one around

we're two of a kind
silence and i
we need a chance to talk things over
two of a kind silence and i
we'll find way to work it out

    Is this one of those “if these walls could talk” poems? That’s how I’m interpreting it. It’s all that you’ve seen, heard, experienced in life and how you’re unable to share your emotions.

    Meron …I LIKE! Great poem…
    my favorite section being:

    while the children laughed
    i was always afraid
    of the smile of the clown
    so i close my eyes
    till i cant see the light
    and i hide from the sould

    I liked how you played with 2 different senses (at least in my mind’s interpretation…): the sound of laughter…stimulated ur fear of the ‘painted clown smile’- that amuses but is manufactured/mask-like…and so you chose blindness…which moved toward permanence. Hiding you from selling your soul…?

    :) at least that’s how i read it… it’s curious how the innocence of children’s laughter can stimulate the visual of a clown’s smile…in the negative light-the words: hide, afraid, close, can’t, sould

    Merons

    i can hear the cry
    of the leaf on a tree
    as it falls to the ground
    i can hear the call
    of an echoing voice
    and there’s no one around

    that … that was absolutely a great metaphor… I can visualize what you say…

    Love it.!
