''scars''

These scars on my soul are beautiful and painful, deep gashes that cannot be seen except in my eyes; the sorrow I keep within me is dreadful, my short life has been full of death and whys. Deep gashes that cannot be seen except in my eyes, I thought the passage of time would heal the scars; my short life has been full of death and whys, at night all my beloved are the sparkling stars. I thought the passage of time would heal the scars, I take two white roses to the tomb of my babies; at night my beloved are the sparkling stars, my forever grief is full of long past sweet reveries. I take two white roses to the tomb of my babies, weeping I touch all the names engraved in stone; my forever grief is full of long past reveries, within my soul the forever sorrow still moans. Weeping I touch all the names engraved in stone, yet from this pain something beautiful was to be; within my soul the forever sorrows still moan, and I write from a scarred soul my sad poetry. Yet from this pain something beautiful was to be, the sorrow I keep within me is dreadful; and I write from a scarred soul my poetry, these scars on my soul are beautiful and painful. _________________________ December 12, 2015 (Repost) Poetry/Pantoum/''Scars"(originally Beautiful Scars) Copyright Protected ID 12-1122-511-12 All Rights Reserved, 2015, Constance La France Submitted to the Premier contest, Your Best Poem, 2020 sponsor, Chantelle Anne Cooke First Place ________________________ Originally posted with the title of Beautiful Scars Submitted to the contest, Favorite Rhyming Poem Ever, Lu Loo, First Place Submitted to the contest, Your Personal Favorite Poem, Ironik, Third Place Submitted to the contest, Your Absolute Best, The Seeker, Fourth Place Submitted to the contest, A Poem You Are Proud OF, Skat, Fourth Place Submitted to the contest, Favorite, sponsor, Casarah Nance, First Place Submitted to the contest, Best Old Poem, sponsor, Judy Konos, First Place Featured poem on Arthur Vaso's poetry site, 2016 Put to music, 2015, by Silent One Poem Of The Day, December 17, 2015
