River Of Tears

 

I had a chat, with one so noble and true
typing of words, tears streaming through
how did he bring it out in me
like a cascade of water
running out to sea

Tears of a poison cleaning me out
the soul's been wanting to shout it out
feeling of words pierced with negate
too much harshness, too much hate
such words he offered, not many he said
welled in my eyes, inside my head

Time to calm my restless mind
for now it's not for reason or rhyme
I had a chat, with one so noble and true
types of words, tears streaming through
like a cascade of water
flowing a river, upon my face

His backbone, stronger than an ox
his demeanour, not like that of a fox
now I know why he is here
he has great love, he has no fear
he's a noble man, you see, for he
cleaned the river of tears out for me.

written for one who means alot to me

Time out

This poem is dedicated to a man I hold high respect for in here. And just for the record, time for me to take a sabbatical for a couple of days as the hate in here and the discord is not good for the mind, body and spirit. To say the least for a writer either. Peace out, stay well, I will be back. Love,Mona TIME well spent is TIME well lived

Lovely Poem Mona

Nice rhythm, good flow, with the changes pointed out, will be extremely good. I am sure that person will be honored when reading it. Respectfully, Rett: “Anyone who sacrifices liberty for security deserves neither.” Benjamin Franklin

Truly we dreamers, dream of such a person or people

We make them more then they are and there by make ourselves more then we could ever be, with out the dreams we dream of them, seeing that which others do not see in them, we dreamers shed new light for, on, and about them.All things are possible for those who dream, and dreaming of others can change the world. Purity is only a dream, here and now. Some angels have no wings. We are dusty souls living on a dirty ball of clay, not yet shaped or completely molded and/ or baked. The recipe is not yet perfected. Because of those who refuse to dream and will not let others dream out loud. I hope he never let's you down or stops your dreams. Change the world one dream at a time, Mona where love is Hate slowly and quietly flees. Donnie/Sinbad Some dreams do come true as long as we are willing too dream them. Drips of water wear smooth the standing stones. Wanting can not make it so, but believing it is already done brings some thing that is not, to be. I've seen many odds and curious things derived from dreams. None can completely kill your center or your purpose none but you! Sticks and stones may break your bones but words will never hurt thee. Peace out Donnie/Sinbad
