Let it stop,
Let it go,
Let the tears,
On the wind and rain, flow.

Let them drop,
They are so,
Let the tears,
On tender sanity, grow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With each rain dropped illusion,
Arms extend to catch the truth of liquid indifference.
Once the thought to be numb only filled,
And now it engulfs,
Covering well the inside and outside.
Demanding, it presses against a well worn spirit,
And I think I have spoken of well worn spirits once before.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is a fire somewhere,
Offered by the wise one,
And I must hastily journey there to warm,
This sordid organ of giving.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But what of love?
What of it?
It stales, it does.
It stales
And withers.
It haunts and looses direction.
Often a misguided missile,
Aimed at the wrong target,
And then the target explodes,
And they try to fix the folly.
Patch up the first target with apologies,
And wander on.
Wander on.
But it stales,
And I believe not in its beauty anymore.
I have nothing left for love but ice and impossibilties.
Growing cold.
But don't weep for this feeling I have.
No, do not mourn it,
For it is not a loss anymore.
Merely a memory..
Merely a memory..

I've always enjoyed your verse, but it is evolving into a beautiful weave of depth and thought, Jenn., keep those fingers moving, I love reading it.

Yet memories are so important .. both the good and the bad.

Write on.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

You're very tough on love in the last part of the poem......Does it grow stale or grow better? This is an enchanting write, very well done!

Insomnia has its virtues at times it let you write this powerful poem, very emotional piece.

When all is said and done, what do we have left but our memories? What if we did not even have those? Did not Alfred Lord Tennyson’s “In Memoriam”, say it best? "It is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all,"

This brings to mind a more intense meaning. If we have never loved, we have never been fulfilled.

Ahh,I ramble to you, gentle maid. Regardless, as always, your words speak truths and are alive...gentle smile
