- Earthquakes -

An earthquake with enormous dimensions
                          Pain that destroy your joy and your smile
                         An internal earthquake that no one can see
                    Thoughts that destroy and that you are alone with
                            Pain that provides tears on your cheek
                      An internal earthquakes a cry that no one hears
                    The pleasure of life die in pain and heavy thoughts
                          An internal earthquake that no one can see
                             A rose that withers and eventually dies

It seems that those internal disasters can be worse, for most don't know it's even happening... whereas tornadoes and such are obvious. Good work!

Internal unseen damage is nicely worded caused by internal earthquake done by other from different dimensions in life. Your last line is absolutely true. Loved always, bl

Let's hope and pray the rose only withers, awaiting a tender tending hand to gentle the earthquakes in our hearts and mind.... a survivor dreams this so for all to see...so it's said..pray that it be. Moved once again deeply by your words on this page... Good write, my friend, good write.

Earthquakes sometimes are necessary to test our endurance and to regenerate our psychological makeup! Very good conception wrapped in a foil of wisdom!

Thank you my Dear, for thinking so “ A very good poem! ” and for the “ Have a nice Sunday afternoon. – oxox ” especially for the “ – oxox ” Anne Lise, which old guys like my could use a lot of, even if it comes from a stranger, out of cyber space, on the internet super highway. How true “ Happiness is having someone to share life with. ”, unfortunately, Anne Lise, a lot of us do not have that in our lives, and as you have read in my stuff, As I read, so have I known !

How marvelous! I am so fond of this poem! Over time, the thoughts not allowed to be expressed do build up emotional energy. Then, they come out one way or another or they affect what's going on within--once the stress it so great. What a beautiful way of expressing some of this! The psychologists and psychiatrists don't say it as well as you do! Good reason to vent, I'd say!

Wow! An enormously beautiful poem. All feel these inner earthquakes. Thanks for stopping by and your supportive comments on my poem Suicide Bomber. You are so right suicide bombers are brainwashed. In reality they are tools of those brain washing them. The real criminals work from behind the scene. Have a nice day Anne. Love. -Mohammad
