Unheard

They sway as they stand, messes unplanned,
spilling, barging, everyone else damned.
Creaking heels break, ground starts to shake,
they kiss and caress, the same old mistake.
Blinding lights awoken, sight’s line broken,
beating, screaming, words are spoken.

Lost within rhythms sacredly assured
are the cries of my disillusioned call.
The deepest words you ever heard
were the words you never heard at all.

Enforced conscription, war’s attrition,
shoulders, elbows, a clubber’s ammunition.
Scrapes the wretched claw, resentful awe,
groping and hoping, and then you saw.
Gripped by grip’s shock, away you walk,
door opens then closes, no chance to talk.

Lost within rhythms sacredly assured
are the cries of my disillusioned call.
The deepest words you ever heard
were the words you never heard at all.

Night’s end too true, thoughts of you,
fragments, pieces, form in the morning dew.
Misplaced memory, entrenched enemy,
dancing, deliberating, a flight to flee.
A phone’s ring, confirms the fling,
She recites, recalls, and starts to sing.

Lost within rhythms sacredly assured
are the cries of my disillusioned call.
The deepest words you ever heard
were the words you never heard at all.
