My heart screams out your name
anger forces its way in
commanding my soul, listen
as tears rage down stubborn skin

Feelings force my attention
ignoring them, isn’t an option tonight
the blackness of sky weighs heavy
refusing me reprieve of moonlight

I walk into the disenchantment
the cold evening air
you are no where to be found
still, I feel you, know you are there

breeze stirs in me, thoughts I fight
mocking me, compelling my emotions to surface
against my will, they purge, spill over
into whispers of desperate confess

rising from my knees
unsure if I’ve lost……or won
I find my composure and vow
yet again, to never come undone

SEA-
  Oh my...such an emotional write.
  I felt EVERY word as I read this.
  Some painful emotions here, but you've
  penned them very well.
  Big hugs,

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Susan, such painful sentiments fill your words, sweet friend, I hope these aren't related to how you feel now, for we are always here for you if it is. (kiss on cheek) So sad but beautiful, sweet friend, you are an angel to us all! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Susan, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I am creature of emotion....logic is something I am just learning to use Of course with the full moon any pretense of logic from me went out the window. I love how you wrote this poem. It is so REAL..**hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Your whole poem really moved me, but especially that last verse. I felt the pain, the emotion, the loss, very much. Incredible write .

Susan, emotions can be a real b sometimes. I tend to feel before I think and makes me come undone a lot.
I felt every word.

SEA sweety, great piece, and powerful emotions...

At first the title fooled me, thought maybe I'd need to help you do some buttons up or something...

Then knowing that all poet write in secret codes... I knew I was right after I read this line (my fav by the way)...

"rising from my knees..."

of course i'm probably just male and I lost my head at that point.
