Silence

Guilt

Outside a resounding silence echoes.

Uneasily the footsteps follow.

Breathing wind does sweep as it goes.

Until it reaches the empty hollow.

Filled silent earth punctured by stilettos.

Never found until tomorrow.

Red flowing rivers of delicate essence,

Seeping and nourishing the filament.

Time ticking, turning, keeping the advance.

Darkness clouding, obscuring to detriment,

Abodes left barren, bleak, filled decadence.

Eternity alone, forgotten ages spent.

Searching, scouring, upturned stones,

Never seeing through unkempt brambles.

Natures sounds dulled by developments tones.

Guilt deeply buried, surface filled shambles,

Exhumed ground sighs, air filled with moans.

Horror alive, stagger, wretch stumbles.

Eyes observe, details so deftly bleak.

Whilst whispered tongues bemoan discovery.

Eager ears hear gossips truthful tweak.

Minds made up on grisly recovery.

Idle hands do speed, actions of a freak.

Spew forth concussions conclusions verily.

Secrets uncovered from down deep.

The light of day, chasing playing shadows.

Truth from rotted worm fed flesh does seep.

Resentment, laid bare by what lust sows.

Barren sky of clouds, does tears weep,

Fleeing mercy, with contempt bestows.

In the open, all observe the abhorrent.

Set free from shackled confinement jail.

Peace bestowed on pasts torment.

Justice speedily ushered without fail.

Contentment in the field, upward heaven sent.

Rewarded retribution, meted out on each nail.
