From The Heart

All the tears I never weep
are in the ink well that I keep.
As I write I dip the pen
And tears begin to flow again

Bitter are some things I tell,
broken hearts and living hell.
But all the funny words I write
brings laughter to me in the night.

Carefully I choose a word
Cherishing a thought I heard,
calmly letting my soul learn
comforts me but still I yearn.

------------------
Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me how could I ask for more?

OhMe - That's lovely. I never thought of the inkwell filled with tears. I do now. Beautiful thought. I really do like this one.

This is a beautiful poem. I could not have found any better words to describe the tears that we hold inside. Keep up the good work.

Marge, Better in the ink well than staining the paper.

Thanks, Lynn. I shall.

Hoot, Too!

Denise, I don't think I could stop it if I tried.
Did anyone notice the A B C? The title once was A B C of my poetry.
