they come from all around
they are trapped
inside my head
i cry my bitter tears
colored with the flavors
you beam into me
hate
pity
dispair
sadness
hope
and love
i try to sort
my life out
my time
and my heart
i know not how

you tear me apart
break my
thinly covered sanity
i shed
my salty tears
all for you
you and your pain
i remember it well
i drowned in that river
i washed in the
well known sorrow
the body lives
but the soul
slowly falters
and then
fades away

your feelings rot
into dust
you learn to hide them
swept under rugs
deep in your corpse
the body lives
though i know not how. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 251 [topic] => 13 [informant] => MDodgen [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

another breath taking display of emotion. you have an ability to craft your words in to such descriptive poems. A+++++ Nicely written alot of thought here.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
