My Particular Kind of Nonsense A Poem


It's all nonsense isn't it?
The rantings of maniacs.
Myself included.
Where is the silence
Is it in the woods?
But there nature abounds
Perhaps that is more soothing
To our beleaguered spirits?
No voices
But plenty of noises
That could be scary
If there are predators
Seeking their prey.

A dark room
A bed with all it's finery
Sheets, a comforter
And pillows.
A place to rest
One's head.
Maybe<b> physically
</font></b>But the mind works still
Gears turning.

Nonsense being made of
Adorned with a crown
Of thorns.
As we see what we want.
Our lives before our eyes
Thoughts and memories
Solving some problems
Of the day.
Oh and worrying.
That nonsense we know well!

Maybe I am just projecting
Yes. That must be it.
For I know not
What you think.
I am just imagining
My particular kind
Of nonsense.

I like it... especially the co-existence of "silence" and "the woods"

Beeping and noise from center of town,
Dirty and hectic, bringing spirits down.
Seek to escape for peace and quiet,
Get away from the every growing riot
Alone in the woods... silence at last?
A "hoot" from an owl... something buzzes past.
I hear a thump, leaves rustle in the wind,
Branches crack... Wait, I hear it again...
Frogs croak, waves lap on the shore.
The woods aren't quiet, but peaceful evermore.

~ Guy

Why not just Enjoy The Silence

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand?
Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
