Unsaid


















the blue window portrayed an evenly blank, blue sky
 blank, as blank as the walls that never reflected her

her hand reclined on the sofa’s headrest cullying a mind
that rested not much, not at all, even the red sofa failed

its occupant’s avid spirit buried within the layers of sanity
normalcy is perceived as to the ways prevalent in and around

and her mind dangled between commonness and the impulses
as the sky reflected an ocean blue, contemplating ocean secrets

the loud red sofa contained itself under the resting fingers
remained blank as the walls, the sky and blank about her mind

  1. It seems perfect on a day when the sky seems blank, to spend the day contemplating ocean secrets...it would take a lifetime.

  2. What a very interesting poem on silence. I love how you incorporated the art piece into the poem. The blank sky, the avid spirit buried in sanity, dangling between commonness and impulse, and the quiet loud red sofa ...such great images. This is wonderful!!

  3. Nice phrase: "avid spirit buried within the layers of sanity"

  4. Somehow this kind of silence seems a bit melancholic to me... it reminds of the mood in an Edward Hopper painting...

  6. I particularly like the part about the sky "contemplating ocean secrets." This poem speaks to the desire to escape the confines of one's nature.
