It would take more than all winds combined
Tornadoes, hurricanes, all with a fierce whine
Still nothing could dry the tears hung out
For sadness engulfed in tears, I shout!
Why are you gone? Why not take me?
Now I'm alone embraced in this sea
Of sadness, despair...pity this fool,
Terrified of being, just being...a tool.
Of lonliness now, no smiles to turn
The corners up, a kiss to burn
A tatoo of hope inside of these walls
Empty this gloom, hollow these halls
As shadows of fog, broken with grays
No light to shine...gone are the days
The hope that has flown with wings in a sling
For ghosts are alone, love's kiss...a sting,
It bites to the bone, this pain never pales
It soars with the moans then whispy it sails
Future, a question...Nothing to greet
Lonely souls sigh as hearts miss a beat
Chins dripping salt, liquids in pounds
Crying and streaming to pool on the ground
For now you have vanished and I am alone
Flown with the wind, hearts turned to stone
Tears of hot moisture, burning the flesh
No tokens of love left here to mesh.
Some recall of happiness...Jesus this pain
Marrying my tears in torrents it rains
Waiting for grace, praying I cry
Redeem all my tears and help them to dry.
Like a momentary descent into an emotional maelstrom, only to be refreshed and encouraged with the faith of a child. A superb conclusion! The Bible reminds us that all our tears are saved in bottles and will not go untended.
Light and Love ...

Your words slice straight through the heart. Though familiar to this feeling, it remains painful to see hurt expressed in such a way. Perhaps often our deepest wishes were not destined to be inside space and time, but beyond it there may be dimensions now still outside the scope of our perception and imagination, that are less unkind to feelings that profoundly move us. Personally, I refuse to believe that this life is all there is, envisioning a GOD that is immaculate, infinite Love. Thank you for creating and sharing. Stay strong.
Your heart screams with the anguish life has brought and you have painted in words how any love can be so distraught. But poets know the beauty in life as well as its melancholy.
whoa, "Gaothic despair" - but that's part of being a poet and life too - hope you are not too deep in "the DEEP abyss" Try my music, the beat will lift your spirits. put some light in your season...happy holidays anyway

Not your usual upbeat stuff, Susan, hope it isn't reality-based . . . We both had the "gloom" inspiration with our poetry today . . . Mine goes in another direction . . .
Oh my, are you being channeled? I surely hope so. Usually when I write something sad or dark or depressed it is a channeling, because I know I am happy inside, and that goes for you also.
Hope all is well,
Peace, love, and light,
