No Laughter In Her Eyes ~*Marge Tindal*~  There was no laughter in her eyes the day I met Annie Sunrise Uneasy with the gaze of her I cast my look away Retreating steps in backward stance away from her stony-eyed glance Yet she haunted me~ I came to know that Annie Sunrise had suffered such a loss as to render her incapable of dealing with the cost Taken from the cradled-care a babe not yet in speak Raped of all her senses hideous was her defeat Drunken pillage-pawn of spawn left to suffer quite alone Dragged along for pleasured plunder years of innocence torn asunder Rescued far too late to matter nothing left in brain of scatter Fury in the eyes that stare Vacant, yet I wonder is Annie Sunrise home ? What love of mine might reach past the doorway of her mind and turn on a light that just might lead Annie Sunrise home ? And so ... I walk into her perimeter sit down and pray she will hear me when I knock ... ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

You have touched my heart with this one. She may never answer your knock for you to hear but know that God will see her smile. |

They say, "knock and the door shall be answered", and I know a withered heart and soul takes time to listen but it happens. ~* If you want a rainbow, sometimes you just have to put up with a little rain *~ |

You have a very powerful way of conveying the pain of hurts felt. I feel your words truly reflected the picture of her sitting there, staring through blank eyes. Sad.....but so well said.... |
