Soundless Voices
Hellie Chen
Transport me
to another world.
Of discordant harmony, crescendoing silence.
Tales of lovers that love as the sun shines,
Epics of warriors of crimson blood and tarnished glory.
Grant me
the tranquilent silence,
Raindrops on a leaf, a gentle breeze.
In the midst of violent cacophony,
Hush.
Give me
passion,
Blazing sunsets of blood and ichor,
Drums beating the count,
Of my heart.
Listen,
To the soundless voices enclosing,
A lullaby of breaking dawns and dimming dusks,
Beat of a amber-toned sparrow,
Delicate whispers of the wind,
Pastel.
Give me
life,
Green veined and sickly sweet,
Blooming bed,
Of Higanbana.
Grant me
quiet solace,
Crepuscular rays,
Ensuing a mirage of crystal cut clean,
Drip drop.
Transport me
to another world,
Of harmonious cacophony, quieting clamor.
Jeweled drops of glittering rain,
Prisms of fractured wind.
Soundless voices,
Reflecting,
Rebounding,
In my head.
