So many tears I have inside
That disappear and try to hide
But they are stored and lie in wait
To quench my hell and ponder state

So many moments to myself
The thoughts of left upon the shelf
To gather dust and just grow old
For that seems how the years unfold

The joys are few and far between
Until a verse within is seen
It’s then a smile does cross my face
And I am in that perfect place

Hell may come and give me grief
But words as healing give relief
So one on one they join in dance
Before I take another chance

You are among my favorite poets here.

Thank you for sharing you.
