release

I own no words
none that can absorb
these tiny
bitter pixels
that scatter
as i exhale

I'm too weak
to command
the needed presence
of comforting words
here, in this
solemn
lonely room.

I've no words
to speak of the song
of my painful heart-

so
tonight,
this is my poem:

these drops
of sparkling tears
flowing
from my weary eyes.

  1. sad to hear of your sadness
    but
    selfishly
    i am glad
    that you found time
    to write a poem with your tears

    cheers :)

  2. sleep dear luann
    draw the curtains shut
    let the darkness absorb
    those pixels
    so the mind can create
    a new design tomorrow

    I feel the weight of these words and the air that receives them so that you feel lighter tonight.
