IN POETIC SILENCE BY DENISE CHARLES

Poetry is...
Life and love
Things unspoken yet spoken of
A face for the faceless
The voice of the voiceless
A lover's kiss
An internal fight
Falling asleep after midnight
Then awaking at 2:00 a.m. to write
Sexy yet gender free
Calmness and insanity
The truth, a fallacy
A slap back to reality
Jumping up and running free while sitting still
It screams when whispered
Letting out and letting in
It’s hate, it’s anger
Passion and pleasure
An outstretched hand
A touch, a hug
It’s setting free and revealing
things swept under the rug
Existence without existing
Calming yet thought provoking
A refreshing glass of water
At just the right temperature
A roomful of people
An empty chair
Being hungry
Craving your favorite dish
A deep thought
A simple wish
It’s hurt, it’s pain
Never in vain
An orchestra playing a symphony
A soloist
An unsung melody
Poetry is you
And me....
