The silence of my soul I & II

     By Danny Villarreal

 

 

 

             I.

 

     In my body

     The secret key

     Known to all

     But best to me

 

     It calls to me

     With siren sounds

     I fell to the ocean

     I started to drown

 

     Trying to explain

     What they can't understand

     Words my last exit

     The blood on my hands

 

     The time is dripping

     Down through my fingers

     Futility of spirit

     Continues to linger

 

     Flinging happiness

     Around and around

     Breaking the silence

     But using no sounds

 

     With my new love

     I walk to the end

     To find my hand empty

     My heart has no friend

 

     He turns down the music

     He turns off the lights

     He wants to taste silence

     And see if it bites

 

     Drifting in measures

     And theories of life

     I swim from the shores

     Of sanity and light

 

 

 

                     II.

 

     Beyond my realm of knowledge

     Below my broken heart

     Lie pieces of my soul

     Ripped and torn apart

 

     Crying in Shame

     Coddled by pain

     I look to the silence

     Manifested as rain

 

     In my veins....

     in my heart....

     in my name...
