It's not  as if
I could feel anything
after you bled
my emotions dry
and left me there
in the scorching
after math of the moment

thirsting

for a single tear,
a touch of dew
a drop of rain

anything....

that could make this soul
awaken again..


Storm clouds swirl
ominous,
ever present

keeping at bay
the sweet release I seek
from this darkness
overpowering me,

breaking my
spirit

Weakened

I have begged
but the screams
fade...
turn to whispers,

through this silence
of my own stillness
with palms pressed
towards the skies

I still
am here
  praying  for  rain....

{revised 8-17-07}



each time makes me stronger...but after the fall....
we get back up and move on,
because the past is the past
and there is no tomorrow
if remaining in still waters
while the river flows on...~dmsmith~

smilin here...sweet lady your lunacy has inspired and been an inspiration on many occasions.  I remember when I originally wrote this, how at that time I had not even an ounce of desire or notion to write and upon reading one of your most amazing writes this is what spewed forth from me and it was a very healing feeling sistah....

and for that? I am eternally grateful dear friend.  Thank you so much lovie, for your support of my words it truly means much to me.  

hmm now, if I could just write something new..
