Totally Alone
20-8-15
Silence lurks around the corner like a curious cat.
It chases itself into loud rooms
And lingers like a fart in life’s nostrils;
When all you want is quiet contemplation
Silence steals the show.
It’s in the sound of breathing deceased,
A fan no longer fanning
And a circuit no longer circuiting.
Silence molests you like a paedophile taking chances
And sneaks up on you like a stalker’s photographic instinct.
So I play music to abuse the silence.
In the quiet of the night,
When there are only hums, snores and sighs,
I can sleep.
But the quiet of 2 a.m. is different to the all surpassing silence that settles
When you are totally alone.

August Prompts: Week 2
I chose: quiet rooms
So, needless to say I love the quiet. It's when I can sleep with no interruptions, mainly while everyone is working during the day or sleeping also at night. I hate silence, which is a different thing entirely.
