And THESE tears that fall?


THESE tears!


They are raindrops from the heart cascading down
precursor to this spent loves storm
They fall entwined with painful memories
memories of a loves so carefree calm
They carry mocking inevitablility as a smarting sting
oblivious of a dying loves ressurection call
they are the most hurtful kind shed, embedded
a sparkle that is the realisation of loves fall
they are the last
the last I shall ever shed for you
be it for an eternity they flow on



And THESE words that scorn?


THESE words!


They are acrimoniously tainted pertinatious things
eradicating from my mind any hope forlorn
they are dignity's minions set to protect
Protect me from the lament of loves fall
They are a melancholic pride's makeshift guize
an illusive face hiding intense emotions that boil
they are the most hurtful kind said, embedded
a wall against the perplexing love that is their scorn
they are the last
the last I shall ever say to you
be it for an eternity they roll on




(C) Max Hardy 1986

An unleashing of the heart here.

I could feel the undercurrent of emotion
while reading. It's a very powerful write
you have left here for us.

When it needs to be said there is no better
way than to say it with a poem.

Well done!

best,
andy

Hello Janel

Thanks so much for stopping by. There were a lot of intense emotions flying when I wrote this all those years ago, and their memories still linger in the scar tissue.

Your words warm my heart.

Hi Max
If you wrote this in pencil the lead must of brocken a few times and then you had to rewrite this one as the paper fell apart wrecked by the tears.
If you typed it straight to computer I wouldn't be surprised if the key board is wrecked the screen has shorted out.

Hello DSL

My friend, back in the day when I wrote this it was quill and parchment, and the feathers did indeed stick together and the ink smudge so terriblie, forsooth. Thanks so much for your wonderful comments.

Max,

This is one of the finest poems on the pain of lost love I think I have ever read.Painful yet enjoyable at the same time, you wield a mighty pen my friend.

Peace and hope,

Paul.

Awesome and oh so true words, Max. Indeed, tears from lover's eyes are that all feelings and statements.
