Silent One Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

It's Happening Again

It's happening again..

Drops of mercy descending 
from heaven's shadows,
hydrating breathless sighs.

Against my will,
each splash resuscitates, 
my recovering wounds.

Words unspoken, remain,
veiled within the vaults of my heart.
Desperately, I seek the cure.

But, all I can do is stand still,
observing in silence,
soaking in regret.

Blood dilutes with the rain,
and I wonder,
if this will be the last tear.

Simple Musing

Besma Riabi Dziri October 16, 2018 at 5:48 AM When pain overlaps with rain.. when a bleeding heart mingles with silent tears.. we get an achingly captivating imagery of a "bleeding rain" penned by Silent One! Great musing! Best regards. Be blessed always.

Vegter Papyrus October 15, 2018 at 9:37 AM Regrets are in the past, and most people place them ahead of their tomorrows, and they're not promised. Good one!
