Angela Crabtree Poet Rhyme

He Dreams Despite My Screams

If only he could discern my pain
and feel it's sorrow near
if only he could smell the rain
of salty tears I smear

If by chance his sorrow grew
Ivy's green disguise
and choked the life he held onto
then would he realize

Don't forsake me where I may transcend
beget me to dissolve 
I pray most humbly to ascend
if my sin you won't absolve

If he would only to forsee
these eyes so trite and stark
the truth is he does suffer me
and leaves me with the dark

Vince Suzadail Jr. July 24, 2008 at 8:42 AM You judge yourself a little harsher than you think. You write well and have a good heart. You can't ask for more than that in a person. Keep writing. Vince

Sara Lokken July 16, 2008 at 8:46 AM So beautifully penned with heart-wrenching and poignant emotion. You know what-I love you, too.:) LOL. Anyway, I didn't log in here in a few days, because I was very busy lately. I hope all is well with you. Love, Sara

Michael Degenhardt July 14, 2008 at 12:54 PM Ivy, your writing is always so poignant and presents itself with a clarity, by way of great imagery. This is a wonderfully flowing read but for a sad subject. You pen your words with style. Michael

July 14, 2008 at 12:24 PM Nice intertwining of nature and emotion to forward your thoughts in this poem. In answer to your earlier question, I do go lilies--perennials I bought as small plants. Thank you for your ongoing support and for sharing your talent with us. Best wishes. Karen
