I hope you are all well. Just passing through. Life is very busy, so little time to write. I wrote this one Sunday morning and then turned it into song lyrics.

A close friend of mine has joined the soup, please have a look at her poems. A truly talented poetess.

Now that only forgotten promises remain, sounds of solitude are gifts I wish to obtain. Sentiments are temporary in a world full of change, affections are wasted in an insincere exchange. Some say my words are engraved too deep, others feel expression is only cheap, so close your mind and enjoy your sleep. because if you hear me then you'll weep. Sometimes we have to forget our hearts visions Life don't come with any terms and conditions Forgive me if I seem emotionally challenged, as I hide my feelings when everything seems unbalanced. My soul's invisible, your ignorance won't see it crying. Inquest of a grief stricken heart concludes into spirit dying. Trauma vibrates like an orchestra of lightning horns, with fate bleeding thistles in a rose garden of thorns. In the mourning of seeds that blossomed too soon, breathless, I wrote my name with stardust on the moon, but now i wander in a meadow full of nettles, as the ink of life is a burden upon the sepals. With silent sighs hidden behind a poetic verse, I ponder if the quill is a blessing or a curse. Sometimes we have to forget our hearts visions Life don't come with any terms and conditions Forgive me if I seem emotionally challenged, as I hide my feelings when everything seems unbalanced. You see... I'm struggling to discover a reason to survive, so I stand here screaming at the Grim Reaper to arrive. He mocks and laughs at the patheticness of my pleas, whilst inner demons offer my soul no apologies. I can see cosmic imposters in ebony horizons, misleading like fake guides sparkling like diamonds. Reminds me of a veiled star that never forgave me, who betrayed me to decay in the death of my poetry. Sometimes we have to forget our hearts visions Life don't come with any terms and conditions Forgive me if I seem emotionally challenged, as I hide my feelings when everything seems unbalanced. Oh regret, why do you look back with such anger? Sometimes words are the most toxic form of cancer. Are these just twilight stories before a prelude of sunset, or unwritten feelings I've learned to suppress, to forget? Silent One 16 August 2023

Hello Silent One, Congrats on the POTD. I have been betrayed also. Now many years have passed and I have let the hurt feelings go. I have moved on. If you keep remembering the pain , you can not get on with your life. Do not be stuck in the past. Enjoy your day my friend. /Darlene\

A very feeling one. It describes my own feelings the past 6 years since betrayed by a doctor. I really think this.

"Trauma vibrates like an orchestra of lightning horns, with fate bleeding thistles in a rose garden of thorns. In the mourning of seeds that blossomed too soon, breathless, I wrote my name with stardust on the moon, but now i wander in a meadow full of nettles," Absolutely beautiful poetry! Extraordinary writing! If seeking and deeply questioning the nature of existence, brings about such brilliant poetry, I pray you never awaken to the balance of mediocrity. Blessing my friend.

So good to read your new poem after a long while! Your writes always have the deepest of emotions hidden behind every line that you so wonderfully carve. The poignancy, ache and angst of this one can be felt within the heart's core. This piece is bleeding in vulnerability yet is poetically so elegant...I can feel the depth here.. So brilliantly done!

In this busy world, possessions consuming our thoughts, its so true, we don't see the hurt inside one we are supposed to care about. I see your heartache, even the grim reaper has passed you by, but there is a reason for living. I pray you find it soon to lighten your heavy heart and ease your troubled mind. You are special, and most worthy, and as one of God's children you deserve a happy life. You are a talented poet that's for sure. I wish you find the path to contentment and happiness very soon. Glad your poem has been made POTD.

Silent One, I'm so glad to see your poem, and your honor of this POTD. Your heart, no matter how torn, is real. Your poetry is a blessing, because you are here to write it. It is a sad poem. Love can be so beautiful, like your stardust writing on the moon, such a joyful phrase! Sorrow too is real, heartbreak so devastating and painful. Your ink is sometimes like unveiled tears. Reality. It is good to see you. I pray for you hoping you're ok. Congrats on POTD!

Your poem was so engaging on so many different levels. Hard for me to select lines, etc., that were my favorite, for so many of them spoke to me. I felt a certain sadness for you. Seems as if you're struggling to find your way. I agree, 'words are the most toxic form of cancer.' Wishing you well, Sara Etgen-Baker

They say life is unfair, even if others care, c'est la vie. Although we wish upon the reaper. The deeper we delve into our souls better paths are our outcomes. The poisoned pen can express evil or devious and could backfire, true, SO. Forgetting our hearts visions may bring relief. My interpretation. Congratulations on POTD Silent One on touching poetry!
