The Shores of Alone

0 posted 2000-07-06 05:55 PM




Teardrops on my window,
others call it rain.
Pouring harshly from the sky
it personifies my pain.

Howling wind and crackling light,
the earth knows how I feel.
I scream and shout, and wonder why
my life is so unreal.

Teardrops on my window
reminding me of you.
God knows if I don't see you soon,
my heart may split in two.

Catalina...
Well-said, and beautifully put!
I can relate so well how rain can personify your mood!
A great poem indeed!

~Cat,...I love the line...'the earth knows how I feel'.  *Sigh*,...I think it listens to me,...I think it speaks to me....I think you're right. Teardrops, raindrops,... if you just sit a minute and think about that word Teardrops,...think of how sadly beautiful they are. An actual secretion from a feeling...uuumm,..ok,..I'm going a little deep but your poem has just got me going.  Loved it even though I wish the speaker wasn't hurting. Take care. *Peace.

This one is fantastic, cat. I'm really impressed!
Oh, your name also includes the cats you love (I love them too). I'm a bit slow and only just noticed that, sorry to ramble!

catalinamoon....excellent, really enjoyed this one.  I am well acquainted with teardrops.

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

i'm so sorry that you feel that way right now.  I enjoyed the poem though.  I guess we write our best when it really is heart felt.

Beautifully crafted poem catalina. I loved it. You really caught the terrible sadness of these feelings in a very atmospheric way. Well done!
