The loudest whisper of a crying heart
The pencil etches a copy
of what the eyes can see,
but captures in perfection
the imperfections unseen.
An alert ear, awake
catches a thousand whispers,
spoken into a wind of deceit,
which blows from mouth to mouth.
I will shout no longer, nor cry,
for my tears run wasted,
into a vast ocean of unlove,
where waves crash on foreign shores.
Instead I take a delicate thread,
and stitch closed lips, ears,
all senses that may wilt
under the rays of your destructive
tongue.

And your poem is something else, rich and painful, very stirring.

So glad the muse has found you again... I also love your poetry... this is no exception and very moving. It reminds me of the 'lashings' I used to get from my mother and the way it always made me feel...stitched up inside myself.

PS How did you create the banner word...not a ciggarette, nor cigar?

ah yes... lashings have a way of making the best garments turn out... well, all wrong! Some things are sewn in fine lace, others by rusty needles.
I wrote this banner with candlelight - have been doing some experimentation - it`s great fun!
