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.

Saturation and moisture is kinder than dehydration and cracks. :)

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.

Sad and beautifully composed, Silent One, with many stunning lines. The reader can feel the pain building in each verse. Your final verse is heartwrenching. Who has not been brought to tears by regret. Lovely! Hugs, Carolyn

Beautiful imagery here; I love this: "Words unspoken, remain, veiled within the vaults of my heart."

Regrets are in the past, and most people place them ahead of their tomorrows, and they're not promised. Good one!

Silent One, your brooding poem is deeply emotional and expresses angst, trying to move beyond loss, as well as a sense of helplessness, but I feel a tinge of hope in your verse.. poignantly beautiful, your poetry and the piano piece as well. Warmest wishes my inspiring friend.. ~Susan

Sometimes, that ache lingering within, just needs to wrap around every emotion. Once thoughts are free, things do become somewhat easier. Even if just a little bit. My best to you. ~ Brandy

Melancholic metaphors speak of a saddened heart..unspoken words remain locked. Feeling of resignation is heartbreaking in the end..well done, Silent One.

Your amazing gift for writing poetry combined with this most perfect piano accompanment creates a mood and an effect I’m uncertain I can put into words.
