Your Sun

Your soul is suffocating friend I feel the sadness weighting you The pain seems to be without end My healing love cannot get through You’ve buried hurt for far too long A languid fester in your bones Recalling only forlorn songs The years have taken heavy toll Those memories they’ll random come And pain will boil and surface And though you’re usually numb Your tears well up with purpose I witness valiant the fight The joust as steeled emotion That’s cloaked in armor so airtight Is pierced with guile corrosion Your words attempt escape and then As grief seeps through your eyes Please let your tears fall now my friend Just I will hear your cries I’ll lovingly collect your tears And cleanse each as it falls Let hurt come out from all those years I’ll help you crumble that wall Embracing you I’ll hug your soul Your healing has begun Unbury joy that sadness stole My friend, I’ll be your sun. 12/08/2017

Why should you sit, stall and then pout; Pick out subject and write poem about; Words are flowing, And number growing; A success you will be without a doubt. This seems to be your approach to writing poems.

A beautiful poem of dedication for a friend... Too many people suppress their emotions, sometimes you need to cry to cleanse your soul and it is always great to have a friend there to support you...
