silent tears


who gives a (insert censored word)
{being sweet
doesn't mean those
words never cross
the tongue, which
caressed your ear}

if there's still one
more beat of her
heart left before
it meets with the
toe of your boot

while the stars
grew weary of holding
out their arms

she fell
crucified by the willows
and he shook the tree
with "don't go"
and she cried
"give me back the stars"
"i need you", he admitted
        and hope, like love
dangled and wept
soaking the roots with fate's blood
before him she stood
    "i love you"
was whispered
    by two hearts
still beating, but staked
to the willow
    and she took from her eyes
two stars still alive and placed
them where his heart used to be
    "i won't leave you"

   but still those two hearts,
stay pierced, to the tree
beatingtogether, and
    apart

Oh, my...is that what I think it is?  In the picture?  Oh, dear...

I haven't gotten to read your write yet, because I was distracted by the photo.

Love the longing in this tender beauty of yours.
Seems your poetry is as soft as your pen name.

i'm not sure what anybody sees in that picture other than someone in pain... if you're seeing something sexual (by the comment)... then i'm sorry that wasn't the intent at all. (because i obviously don't see it and it wouldn't have gone with my work at all)


thank you all for the comments..

richy, it's good to hear you didn't expect it... that made me feel like i accomplished what i wanted.

ARH, to know that you were interested in every line, is one of the nicest things i've heard.

again.. thank you all so much!!

(big angel hugs) This is very sad but well-written, dearest friend, it hurts to be both pinned down and apart, love needs to dissolve together to work! (sad sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Snow, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
