When Tears Won't Listen...

Often times in memories hold,
The flow begins its reign.
The stars begin to fall from grace,
As teardrops on cheeks stain.

The night sky in its silent state,
Bemoans for burst of light,
When come the morn with sunshine's rays,
To blanket dark of night.

Upon the dew of each new day,
I trust no tears will fall.
Yet sometimes even without cause,
They hear a heartened  call.

And even though I wish to pause,
Removing any doubt,
These tears won't listen when my heart,
In loving words, cries out.

So true, M. I think tears are a cleansing agent for the heart. No matter what our brain tells us, the tears will flow because we are human and feel deeply.

Aww Maureen, this certainly is inspired poetry of days gone by.  
Reminds me of when I first read you, your rhyme and rhythm is beautiful,
but it is your heartfelt expression that continues to move me.

Hugs Maur~ x/o

JerryPat2, thanks for your comments. Sven was an active participant here. I am not sure where he went but I miss his poetry as I do of many others.

Lor, sometimes I miss being able to rhyme or rhythm.  Maybe it's just I don't have as much to say right now. I need  some inspiration Love to you and your daughter

Vintage work, Maur!  Inspiration is a wonderful thing.  We all lose our source or muse from time to time.  You have such a talented pen, M.  Love your topics about kids, btw!  Things never stay the same, even our talents.  
Mui bueno, mia amiga!

OMG....I was JUST thinking of him....and I pop in and there you are, reminiscing...

what kind of black holes do our poets find themselves, anyway?

Where's the cauldron we need, to bring him back?

I'm just doing a little bit of reminiscing~~

and I think I may start to revisit some old challenges for inspiration and  write some new responses to them~~~

Its been such a cold, long feeling winter here with not much to do when staying in.
