Tentative grasp
of emotions raw.

Tears constantly
Treatening
to overcome.

A heart
Dying
with silent screams

None left
to hear...

to see...

to care...


Lost to
the Abyss
of hopeless dreams

Lost...

in the midst
of
Silent Screams.

Marilyn my sis, this is wonderful work.  The screams are silent to others but deafening to oneself.  Are you on downer hon, or just venting?  Email me if you need to talk.
*hugs*

 At last I have heard the song of enlightenment.... In your heart you can hear it now, if you listen....
It is the song your spirit has been singing since the moment of your birth. All lasting victories are won in the heart....

This pierces to the core Marilyn... Harsh, desperate, hopeless.. This one captures myself frighteningly well.  You definetly called some tears here, my friend.  *HUGS*

~"of emotions raw"....Raw is exactly how this poem came across to me.  Great expression...yet scary to have your mouth open wide trying so desperatley to release what's inside and have not a sound escape....even if it just a metaphor here,...I liked this poem tons

I've tried silent screams, but it always comes out as howls. but i know what you mean, lost in a hell of screams no one hears.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

Effective work here. I've done a poem or two about silent screams, but they don't compare to this one. I enjoyed it.

Marilyn

This is awesome.  Raw talent, raw emotion.
We feel with you, but stand back for your talent.

Great stuff!

Thankyou all for your replies.  

Lisa...your thoughts and your concern means more to me then you will ever know. Love you my sister!

Abe...You know exactly where this is coming from and I know you can relate to my words. That in itself is a comfort.  

Tempress.....You forget that I have seen your work my friend. I would not call your attempts at such poems as failures. We all create differently and this piece just wrote itself. I took up my pen in the midst of my torment and this is what transpired. Never stop writing for you are very good my friend.

This one gave me goose bumps. Very well done. It reminded me of one I posted a while a go called The Misery Of Woe. You managed to capture the same feeling but with fewer words. Bravo! Thank you for sharing this. I look forward to seeing more of your work or you could e-mail some to me, please.

Marilyn....such a pondering poem!  The kind that makes you read slowly and think of oneself!  Those are the best to me.  It made me reach in deep.....your gifted work showed me how!  Thanks!

Mr. Webb...Thankyou so much for your compliment. I believe you have managed to make me blush.  

Illusion...I am very glad that you have to look deep inside yourself when you read this. I was pouring out the innermost me when I wrote it.  

SEA....Well there was a reason why I liked you so much when I fist read you. We seem to have walked much of the same ground.   I hope all went well with you the other day.
