Long Tearstained Poems

On the fifteenth of may
Was the day that they met
It was truly a day
They'd both never forget
They were made for eachother
They'd never fall apart
They loved eachother to much
To break the others heart
A whole year went...

I'm sitting in the darkness
Waiting for the light
The darkness tries to drag me in
I know you're coming, so I fight.

Why aren't you here yet?
What's taking you so long?
Why can't you come and save me 
I...

My life began with you and me
Two hearts, two minds, two pieces of a dream
Two individuals who loved without conditions
Two people who felt feelings beyond recognition
Two who became one like God planned long ago

My life...

Little child, be not afraid
The rain pounds harsh against the glass
Like an unwanted stranger
There is no danger
I am here tonight

Little child
Be not afraid
Though thunder explodes
And lightning flash
Illuminates your tearstained face
I am here tonight

And someday you'll...

Soldier Boy”



He left a boy -
That young man 
Whose face held the last vestiges of freckles
From summers spent tramping about
The countryside on sunny afternoons.

He left a boy -
That proud young soldier
Who brushed away the mother’s...

If heartbreak were the canvas I was painting upon then you were my muse, and my hearts bleeding was the paint that was used
There was more than enough blood and tears to create an award-winning...

Vultures swooped at fast
evading carrion;
Vespa hornet squadron buzzed;
Paparazzi psychology, ruthless
across screaming Macadam black
as the blackest slabs of night.

Sheet lightning born of
flashbulbs popping;
illuminated faces strobed
under toughened glass;
wide eyes, teeth gritted,
urging crazy dizzy velocity;
all the riches and...

As girls, we learned the art of putting on makeup
From our mothers and sisters and aunts, those women
Who cared for us and kept us from creating pictures
Of clown masks on our velvety soft faces, which...

A summer rain arrived, unwelcome, cold and unannounced,
Spattering softly then louder, as if a hidden tiger had pounced.
I stared out of the window pane as the world turned silver-black,
With distorted reflections of lights from the...

I have the most foolish Dreams
In my dreams, I wake to sunlight pouring in streams.
In my dreams, I am unburdened by fear, failure or disease.
In my dreams, the sky is blue and the air is...

walking alone with my memories and a tearstained heart
watching the water and thinking about Her
there is nobody here and the chill and the quiet is a perfect combination
the makeshift Christmas tree on the sand makes...

My tearstained stuffed bunny is my dearest companion,
    My confidant.
I whisper my fears,
    My snotty, sobbed aches,
Into her ears 
And let them disappear
Into the dark of my bedroom.
I’m a...

Etching tales that run in trails along a parchment sheet
From feathered quill in trembling hand so longing now for sleep
As black ink drips down from the lip that rounds the pewter well
While a raven watches...

You’re all in charge of authoring a story
Of love and humor, suspense and glory
You’re writing starts with your very first thought
And doesn’t end til your life is naught.

Know, My Dears, these books; your own
There are...

my soul, oh my 
it's a sweeping, sealing cry 
a supernova quasar lighted bright 
  
and how do you 
speak and cry and smile 
teach my soul 
you you you you you

Turning the parchments pages

Of this tearstained scroll

Bombast tales, never, have I ever spoke

The writings of palladians life, unfolds

Beyond the reasons and beyond the rhymes

And beyond this once somnolent night

In front of the crowds, I have...

Woke last night to the sound of tears
felt a feeling that's been lost for years,
A smile kissed my tearstained cheek
cause I now am strong where I once was weak:
 
NightingGale came, rustling her tired wings

Pain’s Tomorrow


Why dost the hand of love surround my throat
hold hostage by each breath - lost passions hope -
imprison me within hot blooded moat
tethered agony - heartaches tearstained rope?

Couldst not the gods if they held...

Aching, trembling like the dewdrop as it slides, wistful, across a petal… down a tearstained cheek – our ancestor’s heart’s quake  ~ quote by author

Wrinkled now, thoughts carved out - all in the past

That dead night,
Tearstained face.
Knuckles white,
Warm embrace.

Then I said,
"Why do you cry?"
And you said,
"Take care, goodbye!"

Grey sky,
Colourless,
Black and white,
Speechless.

When I said,
"Don't cry!"
You said,
I'll miss you, goodbye!"

Those last words,
Hung in the air.
Feeling dizzy,
Ahead, I stare.

When I said,
"Don't...

New leader of the free world,
Riots both silent and raucous,
Flames spitting out from trashcans 
And barrel drums,
Demonizing the tearstained faces
Of children and mothers, men emasculated
By their failure to provide, 
Dreamers of fairy tales.
And it’s a...
