A Tearful Heart

"A tearful heart is like a rainy cloud" - by Poet A heart full of tears is like a cloud filled with rain, drenched in sorrow, it can't be consoled by a song, at times it drizzles, sometimes it pours out in pain, melancholy cannot be hid inside for long; Salty drops drip drip drip from misty eyes of grief, in a heart numbed by pain, woes do not go away; When the Grim Reaper strikes, it's hard to find relief, like the unrelenting rain on a cloudy day; Emotions flood fast in a lone, suffering mind, like the harsh pitter patter of heavy cloudburst; A heart can only take as much as is destined, the rest of its troubles overflow unrehearsed; The heart's agony, only few can understand; Like falling sleets of rain, heartache can pierce the soul, such acute distress goes deep, it's tough to withstand, when the sad sky showers, waterworks take its toll; A heart full of tears is like a cloud filled with rain, salty drops drip drip drip from misty eyes of grief, emotions flood fast in a lone, suffering mind, the heart's agony, only few can understand. 12.09.2020

This is a gripping, penetrating poem. I feel it's heartbreak resonating through the emotions. It's melancholy enriched with feelings of sorrow, chilling the senses with these painful raindrops... a cloudburst of emotional thunder claps. Love this friend,. Such a blessing to read and feel. God bless you
