taste of salt on my lips,
can't believe they come from me.
Blurry eyes, blue and brimming,,
tears fall down,
stain my shirt with words that dry,
disappear, unheard…
painful drops, emotional distress,
my soul bleeding the waters of life,
love crying to be felt, to be heard,
to live…

Something inside
will never be whole again,
my heart missed beats it will never regain,
the whole of me is undone,
something inside…
died.

Tears Fall Down…Rain,
from deep in my heart.

I do the same thing, Jimmy...

My whole life can be falling apart, and I'm dry eyed...give me a movie...and the tears flow. Glad that you are okay!

(big hugggssssss) Oh James, this is completely natural, I too always cry over movies. "Forrest Gump" and "The Mighty" are two movies that made me cry the most of all! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharingh!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Wonderful presentation and flow - Glad to hear that this is NOT a current state of mind, just prompted by a movie.

Oh my goodness JW this is my all time favorite of your poems you've shared with us here...
I can't begin to express2you just how deeply touched I got upon reading your exquisite poem...
Honestly, and aside from the magnificent expression, but the way you've presented the poem was indeed the icing on the cake4me...

This speaks of change, certain and unforgiving. Very much enjoyed.

I understand completely... can't get thru an episode of "Touched by and Angel" without bawling.. and neither can my husband.... and I love it!!!! we don't even try to hide it anymore.... ya know with that lamest of lame excuses.."I must have something in my eye.

Both of them at the same time.... come on!!!

I loved this piece.

Love, Light and Peace,
