Silence


Silence revolves. Silence erupts. Silence grips at sliding pencils that threaten to mock its sound. Silence is the icy grip that clings to one's tongue. Silence mourns and cries foul play. Silence is beauty that spins and twirls and shimmers with brilliant light. Silence is a dark; silence is the light. Silence breathes a rancid foulness. Silence hurts and breaks and tears. Silence huddles, alone is shadows. Silence blinks and stares for ages. Silence howls and screams. Silence simply lives.

Humming Hands

Somewhere under an endless rainbow, gentle giants from afar sing drifting lullabies to quiet ears. Humming Hands strum lazily through groves of floral heat. Together, inspiration blossoms grow. They grow to sing, and sing for me. Joy will blossom but, like its roots, will die and wither away to the depths of watery graves. Rainbows have melted, tears have run, and empty strings remain the same.

My Eyes Were Opened Wider


Running thorough a puff of clouds opened up my eyes. While dodging stars and hugging moons, my eyes were opened up. Even wider they approached as I conversed while swimming in the jello. Learning lost when finding none, my eyes widened still. And jumping down a flight of stairs while blowing golden bubbles, my eyes were opened, and so it was when gold had flooded my even-wider dreams. My opened eyes saw dancing muffins in burning ovens, rainbows without an end, grasshoppers with tiny fingers, and band aids cut out of rubber trees. Small blue flowers jumping on a world of dots had opened up my eyes. My eyes found perky birds with sun-sized eyes staring at the moon. They found peach tree dust that swayed like a cantaloupe on a drifting boat. Jumping bears and dancing beans hopped like drunken elves as my eyes were opened wider. Wider yet my eyes did get as silver roses of maple trees had arms for thorns to choke a listless finger while bluish ribbon of endless size joined to break a bond. Splitting broken ends of a most unfortunate size widened my worried eyes. Lights from mountains and caramel from trees, had my eyes opened at first, but to it added swimming goggles of tightening force, jungles of mooing donkeys and glue of sparkling colors. My eyes were opened wide, and the sight made my eyes open wider.
