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.

old friends

old friends searched online for former friends surprised to see untimely ends friends, their spouses, moms and dads sad to see the deaths they had the inexorable tick and tock of time, leads us all to fields, sublime through twisting, turning hands of fate, soon we'll all be known as "late" years roll on, time is passed no one knows how long it lasts each life is counted out by days as friends we oft go separate ways friend's faces show the lines of age as each one turns his separate page fools fleeting time waits for no man eighty years our lives may span so count your days with special care for who knows how, who knows where our beating hearts will one day stop find old friends before they drop © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image adapted:  By SDRandCo via morguefile.com

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...
