Points of silence

by DarkLight   Feb 9, 2012


There are points of silence circling the heart.
They are itself,
but facing it.
Reclining on its multiple days,
not undone at its death,
but on terms with her.

It is not a writing of silence looking for an eye,
nor a God safe outside himself,
nor cowardly rain,
nor a dog tormented by his own barking.

The heart is a silent hand,
with its finger facing it.
It imitates their throbbing, but they won't be tempted.

    The last stanza is so eye catching. I read it multiple times. And it's so beautiful.

    The second part of the last line (but they won't be tempted) really adds to darkness of the poem.
    please do write more poems of this genre.
