Drying Hearts
~~~


Incense bespoke
without regret
within a hasty reckless shower
Entrusting hearts
of love do split
beneath
a never blooming
flower
~
Tears induced
through heartless spieling
strike the floor
by anger lured
Most resent
their source of feeling
and crucify
with angry word
~
Venom drips
from eyes tomorrow
with deadly
seeded thoughts today
Roots entwining
blot the sorrow
but dry the hearts
along the way
~~~

When I read one like this that hurts so much, I lose all words, not even finding ones that could give comfort, as they feel so terribly inadequate...

and yet I have to tell myself...it is but a poem...

but I know, in order to write like this, it had to have been felt at least once...

I look for your poetry, you know...

Rex hi there I was told to look out for your writing and I see that I was informed correctly your writing is magnificent. I also see that as usual my mum (Mushy) has already beaten me to it.

This is so achingly beautiful I have no words to describe how this affected me, I hope that the pain you show in this was long long ago


Love and warm stuff
As always

You have so many great phrases in this one, but especially 'never blooming flower'. I love that one. This is an outstanding poem.
