#hearing poems on Hello Poetry

Storm Raven Jul 2015

I am telling you what I feel,
But you don't seem to listen.
You don't hear the words I am saying,
The pain in my voice.

I am yelling at you,
But you don't hear what I am saying,
I scream ,
But you are deaf for my pain.

And I scream,
Try so hard to be heard,
But you don't seem to listen,
Am I not to be heard?

The Fan

Sometimes, I'm just like
"Is the fan even on?
I feel the vibrations of its movement
In my ears
But I don't feel it".
Does the fan even work?
Does fan even exist?

capture

Photographs can't capture
The majesty of sight
The daisies in the rain
Cloaked in vibrant light

Recordings can't capture
The music of ears
Melody of wonder
All I wish to hear

Words can't always capture
Feelings I possess
Raging storms in me
Leave me as a mess

Gut

My gut tells me secrets and
Guides me to answers.
It screams nausea like a
Air raid siren during war time.

My gut speaks to me and
Implores me to listen.
It never chides me when
I ignore its clarion call.

My gut is never wrong and
Sets me timely reminders.
It stores experience like a
Well thumbed user manual.

My gut is instinctive and
It helps me understand others.
Their motives and intentions;
Their weaknesses and strengths.

peripheral vision

---

sometimes i view
with my one eye
something
miniscule
in size

it could be a
flitting bat
it could be a
treetop hat

it could be a
fire light
it could be
the dead of night

i can feel there's
something wrong
but i look
and it is gone

---

sometimes i hear a
faroff sound
i don't try
to look around

it could be a
lonesome train
it could be a
thing in pain

it could be a
tinny fuzz
it could be a
static buzz

the windblown pages
of a book
but I don't think
and i don't look

---

something just came
and touched my hair
it could be
last week's nightmare

it could be
an errant fly
it could be
a fairy sigh

it could be
a sulphur wind
but i don't feel it again

---

sometimes i taste
something that's ill
it lies within
a tounge unstill

it is bitter
it is sick
like gone bad almonds
arsenic

I ***** my face up
then i pout
it's not my fate to
spit it out

---

something is
tickling my nose
it could be
sewer overflow

it could be acid
in the rain
it could be
something
in my drain

oooo i believe i smell that smell

it's coming from the
pits of hell

sometimes we need to
trust our senses

Familiar

The revs of car engines
The footsteps of pedestrians
The laughter of children
The bark of guard dogs
The chirps of small birds

Even from in my bedroom I can hear the world I am familiar to
The world I call **home

Seen

I should've seen it coming,
But I didn't when I could've done,
So **** it,
In the deep end I go,
Miscommunicating with everyone all along,
Hearing one thing,
But seeing another.

feeling my escape

I hear one note
I close my eyes
I hear one beat
I start to smile
I'm not just hearing
I'm also listening
How could such fimiliar words
have such different meanings
I might be percieving the sound
but I am also giving one's attention
Not only the sense of hearing
but the sense of feeling
it hits my core
chills from all of my toes
to the tip of my nose
to the back of my neck
from a shoulder to another
I let out a sound
Just to realize its over

now I feel nothing

Mistaken Identity

All day,
everyday,
people try
desperately
to tell us
who they are
and we
ignore them
because
we want them
to be someone
else.

~ mce

Why do so many people listen but not hear?

Hayley Mar 2015

If I die young

Hearing your voice puts knifes in my heart

You'd think by now the knife would be dull

But it reopens the wounds as easy as ever

These scars are never to heal

Hearing your voice makes my blood pulse

The new wounds bleed faster

You'd think I'd never forget this pain

But every time it feels just as bad

This blood will stain me forever

Hearing your voice makes my breath short*

My vision goes black

You'd think I'd wake up feeling confused

But I remember it clearly;

Your voice took my breath for good
