Archive for the tag “suppression”

a room full of shadows


from sunrise to sunset
the room accepts constant change
mostly affected by light
or lack thereof
by clouds & wind
& an occasional regret
at times full of shadows
altering the overall mood
—or the aura if you will
thoughts left unspoken
accepting any sort
of sounds
but mainly faint
noises from the outside

a truth lies hidden


cruel & unusual punishment
prevails more often
than one may imagine

while good news is often
buried in the sand
dirty laundry
is more than likely
aired out in broad daylight

somewhere the truth
lies hidden in the open
like an artifact
or soon-to-be souvenir
