A Poet Weeps Feel the tension in words expressed The eyes of the poet weeps relentlessly When verses come together so distressed The poet sits alone in tears silently Within the depths of the poet's heart Comes laughter, humour, sadness and sorrow Metaphorising, philosophising, sharing, giving Whilst the heart bleeds to be heard, crying Truth made into sentences, explaining Trembling as time gathers pace, wiping the tears The poet lives in a cocoon of poems Trying to understand every past moment Tragedy strikes as the memories return The poet rises above the gloom of life Then falls again into pain's shadow As the next teardrop emerges, a new word begins Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love |

Victoria, SEA, and Enchantress, your words are very comforting, thank you all. Poets weep and laugh together here at Passions. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love |

Your words are so well spoken and captured what lies within most of us. Its like a saying I knew when I was younger that a clown is always smiling and making others laugh when realy he is hiding and crying within wishing someone would bring him to smile. Thank you for your words. Hugs, Fee Expressions, |

call it what you want.. writers block etc. but i think it al boils down to a lack of inspiration.. feeling the tension in expressed words.. well done. |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Daniel, this is soooooo beautiful, this one tugged at my heartstrings, it's so sad but so true! May we all together embrace in harmony and compassion and let our tears flow into rhyme to find joy and hope within each one to our hearts! (big hugggssssss) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is gorgeous! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Daniel, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
