teardrops from my pen 2

 Just like tears that are unbearable withinAnd excite the eyes in a numb euphoria,And plague it with the feeling of its nemesisThat roll out, and roll on, and roll dry Just like a vacuum melted into the heartThat holens a space between pride and prejudiceAnd the heart is inflicted with a sudden scoresettlable only by its own amendment Then when grief bubbles from the cauldronAnd vaporizes to the rear of ruminationFor it to be regurgitated and revivedIt must be chewed, then spat away I give away every due tear to dropFor keeping it imprisoned in it’s misplaceIs more cumbersome on my somber eye 
darkened from the bosom of my mischance

This is a beautiful piece it has the problem of not rolling in the mind as the tears do from the eyes, I would love to see this written a little better as it has the structure of a great piece in it's theme. I think that you are writing sometimes as you speak and this is turning some of the words around in a flowery way leaving the reader that is not familiar with the way you speak a little lost, I am looking forward to your future writes, I would like to see what you think if you hear this spoken, Yours Ian.T
