My Sad Poetry

For the contest, Beautiful Scars, sponsor Laura Urbaniak These scars on my soul are beautiful and painful, Deep gashes that cannot be seen except in my eyes; The sorrow I keep within me is dreadful, My short life has been full of death and whys. Deep gashes that cannot be seen except in my eyes, I thought the passage of time would heal the scars; My short life has been full of death and whys, At night all my beloved are the sparkling stars. I thought the passage of time would heal the scars, I take two white roses to the tomb of my babies; At night all my beloved are the sparkling stars, My forever grief is full of long past sweet reveries. I take two white roses to the tomb of my babies, Weeping I touch all the names engraved in stone; My forever grief is full of long past reveries, Within my soul the forever sorrow still moans. Weeping I touch all the names engraved in stone, Yet from this pain something beautiful was to be; Within my soul the forever sorrows still moan, And I write from a scarred soul my sad poetry. Yet from this pain something beautiful was to be, The sorrow I keep within me is dreadful; And I write from a scarred soul my sad poetry, These scars on my soul are beautiful and painful. __________________________ November 17, 2015 Poetry/Pantoum/These Scars Copyright Protected, ID 15- 727-103-0 All Rights Reserved.

Every word is a scar that weeps, Wings. Your grief is beyond repair and scars are permanently engraved in your heart! May God give you strength! Love, Balveen

So many tears must fall from your poetry, BW. Yours when you write them. The readers' when they're read... and maybe an Angel tear or two. Beautiful.

The kind of pain of which you write leaves scars which never heal. You have two beautiful scars on your heart that ache inside you every day. I know this is true... I have two.
