I will never know why

But now I hear nothing and I am standing on air,
so who is to say that something is real simply because you can see it,
because I see a man and he isn't there,
and he's telling me these things that are too far away to reach me.
I don't even know them when his mouth is in my ear,
because he speaks in a language unknown to the heart,
which is all that I listen with.
And one of these days,
I'll let myself go and act like some animal with no sense at all.
And I'll love every minute of my stomachaches and dizzy spells,

Uneventful Nights

The unbreakable silence of the uneventful nights will not allow me to understand.
I will never know why
the cool, wet grass beneath my feet made me cry,
or why the sound of the train reminded me of him.
But now I hear nothing and I am standing on air,
so who is to say that something is real simply because you can see it,
because I see a man and he isn't there,
and he's telling me these things that are too far away to reach me.
I don't even know them when his mouth is in my ear,
because he speaks in a language unknown to the heart,
which is all that I listen with.
And one of these days,
I'll let myself go and act like some animal with no sense at all.
And I'll love every minute of my stomachaches and dizzy spells,
but for now these are uneventful days.

So who is he?

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
