Ernest Robles Poet Free verse

Honesty Begged An Answer

Honesty begged an answer
from me it asked impossibility

Forgetting my  place within time
I spoke the truth, almost benign

Thunder split the world within
First a crack then a fissure

Old souls cried a sorrowful song
and blood-drenched the lids of eyes

Knowing truth as some may say
is keener than a sharpened blade

Sometimes best to hear a wind
than feel the storm of emotional pain

Lin Lane January 10, 2016 at 5:41 AM I really liked this one, Ernest. Being honest may not always get the answer we seek, but it clears the conscience. Sometimes the wind precedes the emotional storm, but we survive. Lin Lane January 10, 2016 at 6:02 AM No need to apologize. Go ahead and erupt ~ emotional moments are the catalysts for our best writes. Ernest Robles January 10, 2016 at 5:50 AM I was born a baby within a storm. I found myself alone and made my own heart and life. I am telling you, I was all alone until I left that behind and went into the Air Force. I have experienced every depravity, i have experienced every heartache. Name one, and I'm on mark. My poetry is still young. I only have 6000 poems from the past three years but soon I will bloom. So sorry. I am having an emotional eruption tonight.
