soulful sadness



soulful sadness

Silently,
he wept. 
The sullen 
stillness 
weighed 
on his heart, 
like water-filled 
balloons, 
too heavy 
to hold 
and dropped. 
And broke. 
Like the water 
escaping 
from the balloons, 
so, too, does 
his heavy 
heart spill 
water-filled tears. 
The remaining
drops, drip,
one-by-one,
counting out,
the beats of 
his broken heart.
The scratched
record played
a slow, 
blues rhythm.
The woeful dirge 
drum beat deep, 
intoning the mournful, 
will-less, 
silence of fears. 
The thump 
of the heart, 
in time, 
with the 
quiet shadows, 
showed his 
soulful sadness.

Love Builds - Love Makes

These poems are dedicated to my friend +kim hodges  and to new love.             Love Builds          MARCUZZI AND FRA By lufra Love builds, blossoms, blooms. Love covers, hovers, discovers. Love flowers, showers, empowers. Love thinks, remembers, forgets. Love grows, knows, shows. Love shields, yields, heals. Love finds, blinds, binds. © 2013 ajwrites57 A Long Love Makes Love makes you fly, gets you high. Love makes laugh, makes you cry. Love makes you sigh,  makes you wanna try. Love gets you giddy, makes you feel pretty, Love empowers you to take a city! Love makes you happy,  makes you feel sappy. Love makes your heart sing, Love gives you thoughts of queens and kings. © 2013 ajwrites57 A Long Photo  By CynthiaNaniOKeefe If you enjoyed these poems, find more  here.

Life Without Color

Someone asked, "What would your life be without color?"  I answered,  "My life would be pallid and pale without color.  Each day would be drab, dreary and dismal.  There'd be no primary colors, no rainbows,  no yellow sunshine, no red-blue-yellow sunsets  and no white clouds. No white snow or black storm clouds.  I'd walk in an indistinct and neutral existence.  No green  trees, no green  grass, no blue seas, no blue skies,  would leave me cheerless and dry. My face would not turn red  with anger or embarrassment. My face would not turn white  with fear or pain. I'd not grow green with envy.  Nothing would be just black and white.  My life would be full of motionless emotion,  if there were no color. © 2013 ajwrites57 Image URI:  http://mrg.bz/fwDYZp Image URI:  http://mrg.bz/g6haeq By  Hairysuncold Please find my other writings on Hub...
