Icy raindrops mix with tears,
to fall on rocks unmoved by grief.
Heaven's sorrow falls softly,
a quiet echo to my silent sobs.

The melancholy symphony of my thoughts
plays for the lonely audience of my mind.

My misery stands at odds with the brook,
gurgling and chuckling with pleasue,
and gaining force beneath my feet.
It tugs at my toes,
and tries to entice me to play.

But my hand strays to the sand beside me,
and the tighter i grasp the grains,
the more slip through my fingers,
like all my unrealized dreams.

I shiver, soaked by my sadness.
On a rock,
near the brook,
I weep with heaven.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

"I shiver, soaked by my sadness.
On a rock,

This poem is so beautiful... the descriptions are superb, and the emotion portrayed is excellent.  This is a poem that really shows off the talent that you have and definitely deserves a place of its own in my library..
You're such a talented writer... Keep sharing your creativity with everyone because I'm sure they love it as much as I do.
Very nicely done yet again, babe.

I think this was probably the best I have read from you thus far.  Very nice job on this, the last line was extremely powerful.

wowish! I thought this was amazing. Such sadness within this poem. The last line put the final impact.....BAM...right in my soul. VERY well done!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

The emotion shown in this poem was great,I think, like everyone, the last line was great(it gave the full impact of the poem). Keep up this great work and keep on posting!

I know I already replied to this, but seeing as this is my favorite poem by you, I thought I would reply again.  The imagery in this piece amazes me even more with each read-through.  The way you put your thoughts down is excellent... the poem is beautiful.  Your talent is amazing.  It's enough to make me jealous... Wonderful work.  I hope you come back and keep posting soon.  We all miss you around here.  Nicely done.
