Notes About The Poem

Submerged In Shallow Streams

Shimmering silhouettes haunt.

Shadow stands still, 
observing his soul drift towards 
the tree of melancholy.

Its morbid image stands silent,
but screams inside the mind.

I could write a million pensive poems,
yet the pen could never express,
how emotions remain unexplained,
because suppressed silent theories
and words left unspoken mean 
regretful raindrops fall to the 
rhythm of each somber sigh.

Tears create shallow streams,
but still we remain submerged.

Eight years on and I wonder, 
if we will stay here forever.

Simple Musing
Silent One

Aqua Marine December 16, 2018 at 6:41 PM We resonate with the pain others feel...And this brings out the supportive side of our human nature. There is wholeness in being able to talk about our sorrows. Deeply touching, beautifully expressed thoughts... : )

Bobby May November 29, 2018 at 6:17 PM Your talent with words is off the hook, do you take some kind of talent pills, could you send me some?

Therese Bacha November 29, 2018 at 6:23 AM That is a beautiful down to earth poem.In this life everybody goes through the ups and down, it hurts when we are down, and its beautiful when we feel loved and alive. Between a couple sharing is so important, as its the only way to feel not alone. You did a beautiful poem. Terry xoxo
