Once Heard Can Never Be Unheard
Careless noise
The purr of the void could be heard for miles around,
Scouring the airwaves of historical ratification,
The catastrophic scream mounting to an earsplitting level,
As it gained momentum on a technicality of the nearest station.
The revving grew louder as the soar of silence waned,
Bringing the pain to ears that listened from afar,
Bass like drumbeats rose in a musical symphony,
That lost the listener in the memory of a twanging guitar.
As the gyration moved forward to the ending that mellowed,
Memories poured forth of times within a long distance past,
A dance of demeanour when one last felt adoration,
Causes a smile to wither when a question is asked.
Sound carries in a new direction, one of confusion,
Tears follow in the wake as history was once more repeated,
Solitary awareness of the pain that once was forgiven,
As the torment once forgotten is again reheated.
A soft caress screams of the loss of a soul love,
And this is revisited with the crescendo sailing on the wind,
No longer a purr but an orchestra of tortured breath,
As hopes are discarded, tossed to the depths as the unforgiving sing.
The chorus runs overtime to allow for the message to be received,
Each word sung brutally pines the loneliness of one’s heart,
The question is begged, can the broken be mended?
No — not once it has been shattered and torn apart.
The notes whistle into subdued silence beaten black and blue,
The audience above sits in stunned awareness,
The wisdom to be cleansed has torn the mind into duality,
As the obvious is awarded the ultimate time honoured stress.
The song is concluded, the answers lost in the interpretation,
Leaving those that listened in awe…
