Silent Shadow Boxing

It’s the empty room

Filled with its heavy silene,

The crowd filled room

And no one to share with.

Thoughts left bottled on shelves,

Like so many unread books

Their seeds turning to ash 

Before touching the ground.

Words lay unspoken

With no heart to hear them,

No blending of paint,

The mind’s eye lays empty

Hanging on yesterday’s whispers.

Tomorrow’s flowers wilt with no sun,

Their shared tending left neglected

Only feeding the empty sorrow

From shuttered doors

In the days gone byes warmth.

The shattered jewel’s pieces

Are horded like a miser

Looking toward the gordian knot

Hidden in the smiles shadow.

The cold of the future spilling into the now.
