    Silent Tears

    Salty, like the ocean
    They fall, never-ending
    From built up emotions
    And inner wretchedness
    They burn from pain

     For long silent tears kept
    Confined to the heart
    Voiced only by the eyes
    The window to the soul
    Darker-Deeper

     Profound hurt; nighttime woes
    Cultivating the lines
    That defines identity
    Marred; lifelong scars
    Shattered Dreams

     Recognize these tears
    For they do not forgive
    They shall never forget
    Fate is sealed upon sight
    And, love is lost 

    Forever

    One must learn to forgive and forget to break free of pain such as this. It can only be conquered when one lets go of it and allows for time to heal. Very emotional piece you have penned here but do not let the shattered dreams keep you from having new ones. God Bless BikemanRJ

    dawn, Tears certainly have a life of their own and an unyielding memory too. Your account is truly admirable and a tear speaks to me from your poem. ginga

    Dawn, the content of this piercing poem is so vivid. It gives the reader the taste of sadness in which many of us can relate at times. A thought-provoking piece and a raging stage. I appreciate the torment enclosed. Thanks for sharing...xoxoxo *Erika*

    "I am a man, I am a child I am alone, I am many I am civil, I am wild" —— a dahliciously poetic line filled with beautiful pain. Bravo! Peace and Light.

    Dah, Did you mean to post this comment elsewhere? I read that poem and I love that line too...but I can't remember whose poem it belonged to but it is not mine :)

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
