Thoughts Untold Poem by Benjuzzy Okpuzor

Listen to the dark
sound of
Silence,
Even the lonely heart
Knows the serenity,

For the saddest things
Are best said in silence,
When the wine taste
Sour,
And the sharp walls are

Closing in on you in
Utterly shrink,
In the old caverns cold,
Like the dead lands
That bites our hands,

Memories and smiles,
Whispering to the dark
Walls, untold thought's
Spoken silently to myself,

Like Adam in the dark,
Naked before my Maker,
While the whiskey became
My bosom Friend:

For i have had my days
From tearful farewells,
This frame is fray and
Fragile,

As love has been a curse,
But this heart longed to
Fetch faith and hold on,
Thought's untold, expressed

In my depression,
She walks on the way,
And talk to the road:
A madman sees what it
Sees they jeer!

He shook the walls,
And wail,
But Samson's power failed,
For not a stone
Will fall,

There Into the abyss of
Discomfort, left to linger
In this Lightless
Deep, and in doubt,
At the dawn of the due,

My body is broken,
A lesson learnt the
Hard way,
The price with my Blood,
The doom is dawn.
