The Weeping of Sorrow part 1 of the tale “Sorrow”)

Sorrow weeps ageless tears
Throughout her timeless years
as she wanders endlessly
veiled in silent fears.
Tattered wings of tissue paper,
skin of alabaster
and hollow eyes of gray.
She remains tangled in the knowing
that many will foolishly call her name.


Sorrows Mind (part 11 of the tale "Sorrow" the tale)

Loneliness slides down the walls
as a whisper from her fridged lips falls.
Emptiness fills grand mansions of the mind
and caresses the skin with slices harshly unkind.
Caring freezes itself in motionless time
only to mock existence as a skeletal faced mime.
Longing drowns in a vast red flood
of callous and calculating icy blood.
Ponderence upon your question of how she feels
reveals only that Sorrow knows to be the depth of what is real.


Sorrow Feels (part 111 of the tale “Sorrow”)


Pain and longing heartlessly embedded within
Her empty shell of beautiful skin
As her never-ending journey tears gapping holes
In her ever weakening soul.
Sew it shut with golden thread
Only to observe, with momentary trepidation,
The loving stitches shed.
Escaping into the catacombs of malicious vindication
When Sorrow spews self-inflicted deterioration.  


Sorrow Longs (part IV of the tale “Sorrow”)

Beautiful colors run from her depths
dripping slowly from her fridged lips
as she catches them gently upon alabaster hand.
She laps the leaking soul from her thin fingertips
in feeble attempt to replenish the liquid spirals
of  her empty and forbiddin land.
Sighs escape the depths of her caverns
coated in stinging icey patterns.
Longing for a lovers passionate, warming carress.
Ridding amongst loneliness she has nothing left to confess.
Pulling gently at her forever present, blackened shroud
she weeps tears of endless fire
only to have them melt upon the hands of Desire.
Here Sorrow mourns
entwinded in piercing, blackened repulsion thorns.

Gosh...
I'm with Shadowchild and whileiwasgone...
This is a very beautiful piece.
"Here Sorrow mourns
entwined in piercing, blackened repulsion thorns."

Amazing...
How can you think this up?
It is absolutely amazing...
I, too, am in awe.

*in awe of the awe*
You are all far far too kind to The Darknesss...are you sure that is such a good thing to do...lol...
Am j/k really, I appriciate all of you and your words of kindness and insperation to go on.
So that you know, there will be more, I promise, to this. I drag Sorrow out about once a month or so to see what more i can add to her...I am not even sure of how long she will run by the end...heheh maybe she will end up being a complete story all in poetry form...what do you guys think?
Some one asked how I can write about such hard to write about subjects...well, actually those are the easy ones to me...tell me to write an honost to true love poem and you would kill me...I know , strange...and damned proud of it...lol.
*thanks all of the Sweets with a bow of respect*
Until...ali
