Tears

So many teardrops
Enough to fill a sea
Loosing control
What is happening to me

Drenched by my sorrow
Too tired to wipe my eyes
A heart so unprepared
And taken by surprise

Shattered into pieces
Afraid to put them back
Hoping that somehow
It’s a nightmare and just that

Trying to hold on
To images of the past
Looking for someway
To hold on and make them last

Far into the distance
I can hear the devil laugh
He found another victim
To add onto his staff

My eyes no longer glitter
With the happiness they once had
They glitter with tears of sorrow
The devil must be glad

Lovely writing...Kat perhaps the devil doesn't care but there are people that do care and even though we all have sad times in our lives soon enough happiness will come into your life once again.  Take care,  James

James thanks, but I do know he's laughing and I hope soon comes real quick.


Kit:  I hope I do find some happiness after the tears also and I hope it's all just a nightmare and goes away. Thanks


Amy:  Having faith is what gave me these tears.  At the moment finding comfort is hard but I hope things get better. Thanks.

Oh kat
This is the real insect
Here's my shoulder to soak up this effect
Leave that place immediately, I'm here, defect
It hurts me to see your feelings wrecked
May I send you some lines U may not expect

___________________________

Kittens

Cute little furry balls
Trying to make big catcalls
Bounce sideways in attacks
Try not to land on their backs

Nipping each other's paws
Back away from mothers claws
Mother grooms them to silk
Giving them her life milk

Racing in every direction
Sharing each others affection
Here's one for you to keep
Soft in your hand, a furball asleep

____________________________


I hope that cheered you up a little
I decided to put it in the middle
Bye bye my playful little kitten
This is my string of affection
Now becomes eighth in your section

This description is exactly how I feel at this time right now.  It is beautiful in dipicting what a broken heart feels like.

I truly need a shoulder
To soak up this effect
Wishing that somehow
From this nightmare I would defect

Your poem kittens is so sweet of you
I must say, you’ve shown me another side
Trying so much to cheer me up
Trying to take me on another ride

But my ride right now has gotten steep
Like a roller coaster heading down
No ups in sight that I can see
Wishing so hard to turn it around

A month ago I did not foresee
That this ride would hit with such a blow
So tears keep rolling down my cheek
My eyes have lost their happy glow

So I thank-you insect for your rhyme
And for trying to put a smile on me
For in the past I’ve laughed so hard
To the rhymes we wrote so crazily


Insect, thanks!  

Polish:  It's exactly what I'm depicting, and something I've never felt before. Thanks.
