It is odd
this feeling    of    unfeeling

I can sense
how it grows
within,
stranger yet
this desire
that it should
remain

        ...and, too, feeling no pain...


Perhaps
a blessing
in disguise
no more tears
left to cry

The well was used up
              long ago
thus emotions stilled
no longer flow

left in this emptiness, I so alone

Perhaps
a blessing
in disguise

no more tears

Sahara dry.


I refuse to make plans past this moment in time....

Sad but words that flow, that can be read that create and demonstrate talent

Life people say is an old friend - live is anything and everything whether you like it or not

I liked your words

desert dry your eyes
heart awash in flowing tears
which is the better

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Beautiful poem! I love the title (and last line). I think there's a typo though, did you mean " to feel no pain" instead of " too feel no pain"?

Which is the better
is no longer known in heart.
Dry eyes hide the pain.
