Now, I’m actually fine, so no smart-arsed comments about losing the plot. I had a wee conversation in the comments section with John over at JMC813. He wrote a fabulous poem called Silent Scream which rather put me in mind of a time I wanted to…well, never mind what. If you want to know, visit John’s. It’s all there in the comments.
Unspeak the words.
Unwrite.
Return to underground passages,
cavern deep,
where echoes scream
for certifiable silence.
quieten then
voice
into
nothing.
No asylum
in complacent,
knowing
nods.
But fear and terror
where madness breeds
among misunderstood.
So write then.
Speak the words.
Climb to the mountains,
unstrangle the scream,
heavy air freed
to thinning ether.
Inhale the heights,
expunging darkness
with light.
