Notes About The Poem

Decompression of the Heart

The absence of love plays on my mind,
I search within, but love, I cannot find.

Another wasted day, just frittered away.
Can't bring myself to see, it's all because of me!

Dark clouds are moving in, my soul's screaming out.
There's no place I wish to be, my mind consumed with doubt.

My body's numb, this pain has won,
As I lift my pen to write again,
these words flood out before my eyes.
It's not until then that I realise!
That all my struggles are not my demise,

and all my woes as far as a poet goes,
For now, a smile creeps on my face.
Finally, I have found that loving place.

It all begins within, if we don't find it there, we can't find it anywhere, I have enjoyed your heart felt poem this evening. Thank you WW

Deep personal poem my friend.. has 14 lines, so could have been a sonnet... Glad you have found that loving place, it normally does come from expressing yourself..
