Tears So fall my tears... Heavy now with sorrow. Dully, upon yearning, empty hands, One by bitter one, They fall. Each a crashing wave That beats impotently Against the jagged rocks of Fate... Tossing, spraying, breaking Into a thousand times A thousand more! Falling at long last to rest In stagnant pools Within a broken heart. So deep, so dark, so hushed The waters rise, That it shall seem but placid sleep When the tired heart Is stilled. |

Oh my! How a dark, painful piece as this can possess such a beauty! You crafted this one superbly, holding emotion in every line, and a delicate sense of, I can't find the right word... It is just so well done! With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free.. dragonpoe |

I'd have to agree with everyone else, your poem was wonderfully written! How true is the line, "into a thousand times/A thousand more!"? Tears are the perfect imagery of sorrow. |

Rex, a powerful poem, filled with such darkness yet still so beautiful. It's in your eyes a fire that's wild and glorious Unhibited, unfinished in everything I do Let the morning rise like our hearts desire" whipping boy |
