I Cry

First a sigh begins the sequence 
Then pain impales my tender heart
My lips kissed with trembles quiver
And teardrops fall for worlds apart

Disenchanted by fallen expectations
A siege estrange's my view
Breached by every implication 
Want replaced substance I once knew

Lamentation's silent scream
Stripped of dignity's stoic face
About the time when shadows cast 
Lucent pangs suppressed by weakened gates

I cry...

Sequestered only by my right
For I have earned each taste of salt
Which springs from wretched ferocity of plight
Concealed in my empirical vault

Lest wiped is the dampness off my skin
By one who has no portion divvied
For I have owned each drop therein
Knowing not relief in empath's pity 

Tomorrow's morn will dawn and then
This "woe -is - me" will pass
A radiant sunrise will remind me of when
Faith dwelled securely in my grasp

Gratitude shall seize my debt
Affixing credit for emancipation 
For tears command that they be let
To cure the souls vexation

Therefore, yes...  I CRY

Mark Peterson Date: 1/20/2014 11:48:00 AM Your words literally wrench and tear at the very core of emotion. You've carefully chosen words that not only convey the heart's longing, but also the courage to carry home. Yes, crying, but advancing absent defeat. Tears disperse the chemicals of sorrow, so are necessary for us to feel good again. Much enjoyed. Login to Reply
