Heart-Thoughts

Tears

Heart-thoughts
leaving trails of feelings
where smiles once lived
fall
      to
          the
               floor
so many dreams
splattering uselessly
tiny droplets of love
running somewhere
anywhere
just away
away
from there

And in the shadow of memories
I sit
and let them go.

Your heart-thoughts were so well-expressed that I now can feel the sadness and loneliness inherent within this poem...

Good to see that you have found your way back home to us!

Warm hugs,
Linda

Jimmy

Tears are feelings in liquid form, necessary for most, to express what is sometimes unexpressable.  Good to see you!

Aww yes, just about anywhere will do.

You catch the feeling so well with this...first-hand knowledge, I fear,

and these lines--

tiny droplets of love
running somewhere
anywhere
just away
from there

--are absolute perfection
