these tears that stream my face in agony I cannot voice the pain through which I see I know my childish eyes are well the cause in how I take in things that give me pause to tell you what is slicing at my heart would take honesty with self I can’t impart nor could I divulge the nature of my wrath and how it coats the marrow of my path as stones that find their way beneath my sole impeding ev’ry step toward my goal I find that it’s a rancorous seed that infiltrates the sinew of my deed to find a way to capitulate my will shall take knees as solid rock upon the hill that stood the weight in cumbersome misery while the Son of Man exhaled His love upon the tree ©June 16, 2002 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

 How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so. |

Honest and compelling poetry this was. Raw emotion is the only way to go! What's the point in cutting corners, I mean really! Thank you for these words of yours. |
