No More Tears

The rivers of my heart have run dry
In the deepest caverns of my soul---
Caverns that once whispered to the auburn waters
That flowed silently and gently through golden chambers,
Joyfully feeding into the vessels of my once sleeping beloved;
Now there is nothing more than emptiness and cold,
Where lonely stalactites drip echoes in a song of lost dreams…
Where did my love for her go?
A love that beautified a borrowed existence
With flowers that smelled of forever…
If only I could remember how to weep again
Instead of crying these invisible tears that burn into my heart.

Keith, something tells me you have the
answer at hand. Nicely done, lots of
feel to this.

Grief is different for everyone. You expressed yours very well. It is so sad, though.

Marcel~

Always, always I find a phrase-of-ink to praise~

'Caverns that once whispered to the auburn waters'

How poignantly you paint the canvas in felt ink~

Your works inspire my reprieve on experiences that brought me to crossroads, and knees.
A cleansing breath here.
Excellent write.
