Silent
*A Silent Cry*
October.30.2000 6-6:40pm
Trisha Barrek Hopkins
It's a tear drop no one can hear
A cry so silent only she can feel
This pain is getting stronger
This is what she feared
But now if anyone tried It's too deep to heal
She doesn't have the strength to go on any longer
It's a silent cry
No one must find out about the pain in her heart
That sooner or later she knows she'll die
No one wants to know she's falling apart
She knows no one will for her care
So she lets the tear fall
And sits on the bed to stare
At the blank painted wall
Thinking to herself "This isn't fair."
Thinking and wondering if anyone would notice
If she was gone
If she disappears
Trying to figure out where she belongs
Wondering then would anyone hear her tears
Or would for every a silent cry be by her side
Would it be there forever
All she can do is sit in her room and hide
Not a person who shows they want her to stay
Or with her they want to be together
Or to let people see
To share their life with her another day
And to show that she can set the silent cry free
She wants to let this silent cry go away
To not have to worry
If she'll live for another day
To everyone she doesn't want to be the main story

TRAFFIC
Twelve lanes of
traffic at night
Some lights red
Some lights white.

CLOVER CLEAVING
Mowers do
the clover cleave
and shred the
little violet leaves.

SILENT SILKY SLIDE
Silent silky
slide of the

CONCH GIFT
The sea sends
watery fans
to the shore
with gifts, here
an empty conch,
there a piece of
driftwood ribboned
with green seaweed.
Listening to the conch
we can here the omkar
of the sea giftgiver.

FROZEN FEELINGS
Frozen feelings melt
and flow into pens,
recrystallizing as words.

NOT COWARDS
Soldiers have been shot
by firing squads for
'cowardice'. Some of
these men were pacifists.
Others criticized unwise
attack plans. Still others
opposed suicidal strategies
designed only to further
an officer's career at the
cost of the lives of his men.

FALLLING BOMB
A falling bomb
is crystallized hatred
dropping on all.
Drones are robots.
We delegate even
our killing.

AROUND HIS HOVEL
He decided not
to shovel
around his hovel
but to wait
for the sun's
more powerful
snow removers.

DOG HEARTS
Most dogs like most parents
love unconditionally....
As parents accept totally
the child Godsent... so
dogs love completely...
not caring about the
finances, external beauty,
intelligence, cleanliness
etc of their human companions.

ICE V ICE
Ice cannot
fight ice.
But sun
on warm days
defeats ice
in a trice.
Hate can't
erase hate
but love
creates
love from hate
TO VACCINE PROMOTERS
Keep your needle nazis
away from my Schatzie.

HOW CONGRESSMAN BOEHNER KEEPS HIS SEAT
How Congressman John Boehner And Other
Ohio Republicans Keep Their Seats.
These are the same Ohio Republican
worshippers of
Gerry Mander who stole the presidential
election from the Democrats in 2004.
Footnote:
Charles W Freeman: The wars of the US
have not cauterized problems but
metastasized them.
Boehner has been widely criticized for inviting Benjamin Netanyahu to speak before Congress without clearing this with the White House.
SIDE EFFECTS
Crew hired to chainsaw a row
of six 45 foot high pine trees.
Baby robins fall onto the asphalt.
An empty nest rolls down the driveway

LIGHT UNDERSTANDS DARKNESS
Into the night
comes the Light.
Light understands darkness.
Darkness does not understand light.
Great lovers reach out to those
who love less
not requiring return love.

Footnote:
John 1: 5 And the light shineth in darkness and the
darkness comprehended it not.

GRIEFSTRICKEN
She was an atheist. After
her beloved husband died
she began drinking heavily
.... her grief multiplied by
the thought that he no longer
existed at all. God show
her that he still IS, that he
will love her forever, and that
he is happy.

Silent Cheer
SILENT CHEER
Over the pier
the sun without peer
suddenly appears
spreading cheer
silently stating
'nothing to fear'

Her Perspective
I found a girl, and saw her perspective
Silent, yet surprisingly reflective
They claimed she was away, entirely defective
But I knew otherwise just from the look in her eyes
I saw through the silent, and closed off disguise
And from there, I saw the immediate connection
Completely dissected, but still searches for true affection
Her warm, yet crooked emotion
A calmed, yet broken devotion
Silent, but struggling for her sound
and yet, still not a face found
Her skin torn, gone and rotten.
Her mouth stolen, words lost, ignored and forgotten.
She was exposed to all of the morbid things
Corrupted lies, and uneven broken wings
All she wanted to know if happiness was true
This is what I saw, this was the girl I knew
And she left sudden, without a word,
Her existence she seen was too blurred
Before I could realize, she was gone and done
Did you ever wonder what life can become?
All she wanted to know if happiness was true
This is what I saw, this was the girl I knew..

1.
She walks a strange peculiar walk,
sunglasses mask her piercing stare,
and yet the masses stop to gawk,
and whispers fill the Autumn air.
I know not why she walks this path,
she has no story to be told,
you'll feel no hatred in her wrath,
her smile will never keep you warm.
But when the people look at her,
they'll see a goddess with no fault,
when sanity begins to blur,
they will succumb as she has planned.
And in the end I know not of,
a way to bring her from the path,
her bleak and dreary kind of love,
will satisfy them none the less.
So let her falsely resonate,
with empty shells she echoes best,
for it will take a twist of fate,
to bring her ghostly form to life.
Decisions
Living a life im not proud of leading, yet I still remain here, never have I though about leaving. Support you I will, even though what I do doesnt show what I feel. I dont think we would make it, and I hate having to fake it. But this is what we made, what we created. There werent no mistakes, there was just some bad choices, thats why we must follow through with this, and not ignore quiet voices. We will fight together, because its what we chose, but there will be no fairy tale, there will be no prose. Decisions were made without considering, and life will be lived without ever remembering.
A silent kind of crying
Bitter taste
In my mouth,
A knot in my Stomach
And throat
Sitting in my room
Alone.
I keep my breathing even,
And I don't make a sound,
Yet no matter how hard I try
The tears keep coming down.
Megan
She sat in the chair
no soul behind her eyes
or feelings in her stare
as through the window she looked
deep into the sunlight
the world beyond her gaze
the warmth beyond her cold skin
no smile or frown on her face
no damnation no saving grace
the soul has left the breath has gone
the innocence has left her to remain alone...
