A Silent Spell Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

My head went silent
An emptiness swallowed my thoughts
I was numb to any emotional prick
I couldn't feel my state of being
I was stateless in my own body and mind

I could feel the words crawling out of my mind
Their nakedness was in full display
They were without feelings
Their intended path was a mystery
I wanted to touch them
To paint them with emotions

My mind was calm
No revelations emerged
Nothing to explain my state of being
No thoughts to cajole my silent mind
I was in some kind of blackhole
Nothing was emitted from my soul
I was a mysterious creature
And the only thing I felt was my silent mind
