SILENCE

Silence is black

In silence I fought madness

Her flaming swords grazed my hairs

Madness, furious madness died at the instance of my sword

In silence, the ghost of madness haunts me still

Silence is black

In silence, the lioness beckoned

Her alluring smiles near bewitching

Her silver coloured eyes irresistible

I refused to be allured

Only to be devoured in silence

Silence is black

In silence the world came to a halt

The timelessness a marvel to behold

For in silence I attained the crescendo

Rejoicing in utter ecstasy

Then came the crash

The pains encapsulated in her emptiness

All in silence

Silence is black

In silence I watched the soldiers come

In silence they cut at us

And the hunger came

Even as the golden dream died

All in silence

Is silence golden?

Yet can it be faulted?

Is silence black

Yet I cry out for light

Alas, silence is golden

To give way to blackness

Silence is black

To cry out for light
