Silence(S)peaks

Silence(S)peaks

As the silence begins to speak,
warriors come together to fight. 
Standing, holding their brethren, 
silenced by the long night. 
Lost among their demons,
Of an unforgettable past. 
Sheltered from society, 
inside a shadowy cast. 
A place where demons and warriors dance,
as their personal battles rage.
If only we’d had a glance,
as the silence began to peak.

Thank you so much the insightful review of this personal poem.  It was written in dark times 2017-2019 when I became homeless. It’s about my fight with those demons and suicidal tendencies.  I fought with myself over posting this one as it’s very personal to me. I felt that this place would appreciate the poetic justice of the inner demons. Thank you sir once again for the insightful response. 

I always rhyme as it shows the world my short time .... Patrick

Thank you for the comments and compliments. I’m new here once more and I don’t know all the powerful poets and authors as of yet. I’m only a carrier of the penned poet.. not tried to publish any of them, yet!

This is a very powerful.write Patrick...more so for its elusiveness, it conjures up so many different images in my head but the overall feeling is one of lonliness ...hugs 😊
