..... All Wounds
the silence of night
cries in my mind
echoing awake memories
that dwell there in darkness
and the tears have no sound
as they find their freedom
filling age old lines
knowing their path too well
sunrise interrupts my pain
as I seek out shadows
to nestle in my own little hell
in the after birth of day
daylight hears my confession
sneering with contempt
offering me no absolution
and reminding me
it was only love
Only love? I just want to
Only love? I just want to argue all night on 'only love' what a beautiful yet gruesome piece. It really torments the reader on so many levels. Calm down, irs 'only a poem' ss - a bloody great one.
Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS
"Well, it's love, but not as we know it."

The second verses' ancient
The second verses' ancient rivers of sorrow really cut at the soul. There's a feeling of tragic acceptance there, coincidencing with a near timeless history. Very powerful.
All around strong feeling throughout this one, and one I imagine that more than a few of us can relate to, but that verse is on it's own level in terms of how well it's written and how much it hits the heart.
I appreciate your time and
I appreciate your time and the positive feedback, thank you for both.
Second stanza was the bomb!
Second stanza was the bomb! Tears that know their path too well. The third clues me into a non-morning personality and the day drags on until the night covers the sadness again with its darkness. The feel of this poem is palpable and strong. Thanks for sharing.
