To get back
what I never had
to know
what I have never known
to reprise
a song unsung
and still this silence
of alone.

Perhaps it is
just season's end,
to pray for lover
from a friend,
so pained in heart
that beats again...
my king, he abdicates
his throne.

It would be better, not to feel...
than sit and weep, tears cold as steel.

This is simply a beautiful poem.
I love the reference of the king abdicating his throne, what an image!
Succinct and powerful, quite the combination!

a chained angel cant fly
a caged bird wont sing
still the tears that fall are necessary...
they heal the pain that the silence does bring.

this silence is not forever
this pain is not written in stone
in time you will write your own songs
and the harmony will be your own

***********

you break me heart with this one me twin...
i feel your pain...
but as much as it hurts...
we should never wish to not feel...
then we cease to be a poet...
Hugs me twin...
me loves ya
me



There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.

Serenity, every single word is beauty, every single line is a poem in itself, Altogether this is stunning. Lovely, sad, but lovely.

Beautifully done!

~Serenity,Serenity,...*sigh*. Full of sorrow, but beautiful words you created this poem with. You struck a chord in this heart of mine with the last part.
"It would be better, not to feel...
than sit and weep, tears cold as steel".
~To be numb at times of hurt. *sigh*.
You rock S. Be well you. *Peace.


*BTW,...the title stings me.

Out of longing great wonders have been willed
They're only little tears, darling, let them spill" Nick

Want to thank everyone, however quickly, before SOMEBODY comes home, and pulls another internet addiction intervention scene on me...(I HATE when that happens)
so just know that I thank you all much...your words in reply are dear to me, but not nearly as much as your words in your work...thanks, and hugs.

Serenity this poem was very heartfelt. Could feel the sincerity and emotion as it was written from the heart.
Thank you
