Tears whisper threats into awaiting corners,
But they stand just beyond the gates of my eyes,
And refuse to flow forth.
Perhaps a drink or something far more intoxicating,
To unclamp this hard stone damn that holds my fears in constant check.
Forever drifting
Sifting through my thoughts,
Desperately clinging to any happy moment,
While worry, work, and stress,
Enfold me within their arms of tyranny.
Love and its foreign objects that I can't let in,
Hate and its pressure upon my soul.
Joy with its constant absence.
Sadness with its worriesome houseguest tendencies.
Somewhere I'm loosing myself again,
And someone had better reach a hand in because this time,
I don't think I have the strength to extend my hands.

you cry sincere honest poetic tears in this..
emotive purge here Jen ..
much impact of emotion ...
the last lines pull at the heartstrings.
I related to the way we can take on all the worry and burdens and stress ..
but sometimes hold back the release for fear of it never stopping if we did.
take care poetess

Sprayed across my heart and hers
Danced butterflies in the wild
This angel, this woman ,
who loves me with the innocence of a child.

Janet Marie:
Thank you for your response and for reading this. I always know there are people who understand when I'm here. *sigh* I suppose when you've held it all in for so long, you become an expert on it. When its time to let go..it just won't happen because of all the conditioning.
