      Turning Black Queer Rage Into Black Queer Joy

      Oct 1, 2021

      I have never been comfortable setting a place at the table for my anger. I always invited passion and excitement in and tolerated anxiety at the time, believing it was a by-product of my two favourite guests. But where was contentment, calm and joy?

      The Sound of Silence - Susan O'Reilly

      Silence

      Your silence is provoking

      the emotions your evoking

      my anger is choking

      my pride I'm stroking

      Speak now or never

      I'm not going to wait forever

      nonchalance may ties sever

      maybe your being clever

      Silence not always golden

      fills me with foreboding

      my bad side its goading

      come on, start scolding

      Silence is Golden

      Silence is golden

      but sometimes rotten

      retreat and haven of cowards

      their nose pointing skywards

      should leave their game-playing offside

      sitting on the fence I can't abide

      leaving things up in the air

      it’s not fair

      think their being clever

      but can friendships sever

      so, say your piece

      a stress release

      there's nothing that can't be solved

      better than a relationship dissolved

      Selective

      You stand there, mute

      it’s no longer cute

      silence is your defence

      when you can't make sense

      when you've run out of lies

      you shut down, I now realise

      before I thought it was shyness

      now I know it’s a cover for slyness

      so, stand there, be quiet

      I bid our relationship, goodnight

      Real Friends

      Real friends can sit in silence

      no need for conversation

      sometimes being quiet gives solace

      a loving observation

      A holding of a hand

      a meeting of minds

      a well-established bond

      two of a kind

      Happily, Silent

      I would like
