Ancient unseen tears

Listen to poem:

Feel like I'm caved in; pectus excavatum; not worn, definitely weathered Am I a broken man, a wrecked machine; that does not deserve to be treasured? My heart feels apprehension; sensing deplorem My arms are raised to this; arresting decorum There's beauty within recuse; there's, however, damage in my eyes There's no map to save my path within; just dead ends, just life's, goodbyes This heart is a labyrinth compressed by metaphorical force What if I'm not like any other? Just a drifting ship; sailing existence without a defined course Ancient unseen tears; do so smother

I am glad you enjoyed it! I was a bit apprehensive about recording any of my poems for people to hear in my own voice. I would appreciate your feedback, as to what you thought of hearing me read it. With respect A.S.

Thank you Deb, I write poems like this to remind people of how deep feelings can really go, but they're not alone in their angst. We all need to find ways to confront and deal with our emotion, that's what this was really about for me is sharing how I deal with mine. I also really wanted to try reading and placing audio with a poem like this, heard in my own voice. Warmly A.S.

Your poem flowed smoothly, A.S. Indeed, you're not like anyone else, you are unique, not a drifting ship, but a luxury yacht for sailing the seven seas and exploring your world. Thanks for sharing your poetic talents with us, my friend. A poet friend in Texas, Bill
