About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **

The sound of silence
by wordsy Author IconMail Icon
forgive my sloppiness, it was kind of a rush job. *Blush*

Hello sadness my old friend
I’ve come to visit with you again
To share with you just how it is I feel
And to ask of you if this is real
And to wonder just why that I return

My concern

Is that I enjoy

The sorrow

Regrets I thought that once were gone
Now seem to have found a home
Here so deep within my heart
Where the pain was born and the teardrops start
And I was left wondering just which way that I should go

Well I don’t know

To escape

The sorrow

And in the sadness I did see
Ten thousand others just like me
Ones whose hearts that were breaking
All their lives they been forsaking
Others who’s story they would never, never share

Cause no one dared

To escape

The sorrow

Once it is I did not know
Sorrow like a cancer grows
Take my word and please pay heed
For there has always been the need
To comfort, the lonely breaking heart

To escape

The sorrow


as always,
wordsy.

"a thin trail of whispers
across a wandering mind
faint flashes of fantasy
that I often find
merely jaded shadows
of who I used to be
they fill with words, my pages
for all the world to see"
