Set To Sea

"Set To Sea" No more rain that taste like tears... Took my sorrows that I buried in years... Placed them in a bottle and sent them to sea... Hoping the tide will carry them far away from me... Maybe to an island where other bottles hold the same.. A place where pain and sorrow is never a game... Now the rain is just a cool reminder of a different time... A refreshing drop of water that tastes only of happy signs. So let it rain, I will lay under it and let it awake and inspire me... So I can write and play and never dread the rain and thank the sea... A little more insight to how I love and how I blow off steam.... I play with words and love others to read and follow my dreams... by Michael J Falotico

Is this two poems in one? Yes! You do, play very well with words. I like the first line "No more rain that taste like tears..." it grabs you and set the mood!

Wow! Your poem leaves me speechless. If only we could bottle up our tears and send them out to sea. Keep playing with the words and I for one will be following your dreams. Love, Carolyn
