Teardrops, raindrops

of a poet's heart.....

go unheard and unseen

but for those who understand.

Are we weak? Those seen weak, for sensitivity.

Is there anything to teach?

Is there anything to change?

Teardrops, raindrop sof a poet's heart

go unheard and unseen

but for those who will hear.

Ears of the heart,

Senses of the heart,

Whatever force fuels this life- connect.

Feel my call, our pain.

Allow the cleansing rain.

Can life be warm and gentle one day?

If only our hearts call could reach you,

Universe...God-force- whatever you are.

If only you could hear our tears,

If only tears could be heard,

Ringing louder, like bells

If only you could hear

These stinging, ringing

Tears of pain.

The years of torture

These dimensions of suffering

Man's inhumanity to man

And innocent animal kin alike

The dimension of suffering

Caught in time

Of suffering physically

Where all experience becomes focussed

To that single point of pain.

Joy and pain

this endless cycle.

I long to rest.....

The grass is soft and gentle

Beneath my head.

Life can be beautiful.

And life can be kind.

But life is not kind.

It feeds upon itself.

But maybe that's just the way it is,

Was meant to be

and always will be.

But if thats all there is to this life...

I deny it.

I despise whatever made it that way.

I will loathe that which allows cruelty

From the depths of my very soul

My anger and my passion, this dormant fuel

Waits for the day,

The day I have the key.

Not dumb at all.

If my heart were to speak it would be something like that.

I said to God, “Let me love you.”

And He replied, “Which part?”

“All of you, all of you,” I said.

“Dear,” God spoke, “you are as a mouse wanting to impregnate a tiger who is not even in heat. It is a feat way beyond your courage and strength. You would run from me if I removed my mask.”

I said to God again, “Beloved I need to love you – every aspect, every pore.”

And this time God said, “There is a hideous blemish on my body, though it is such an infinitesimal part of my Being – could you kiss that if it were revealed?”

“I will try, Lord, I will try.”

And then God said, “That blemish is all the hatred and cruelty in this world.”

~Saint Thomas Aquinas

There are other beings, other worlds

Other beings,

other worlds

There are other beings

Other worlds

In our dreams, perceived

In our mind, conceived

In our sky, believed

Other beings,

Other worlds

We can paint beauty

Or we can pain ugly

Other beings,

Other worlds

There are other worlds

What world will we create?

What dreams will we bring forth?

In our dreams, perceived,

In our minds, conceived

In the news, foreseen

Other beings, other worlds

But will we understand them?

Does love conquer all in the end?

When will we truly know ourselves?

We are lost in a world of illusion

Hurled by the tide of confusion

Nothing is clear

I'm not sure if we need fear

I need a magic looking glass

To help me find the truth

I am human

We are lost in our humanness

Limited by our finiteness

Seeing through our little lenses

Just our angles, perspectives

Restricted.....

I want to see.

Your poem made me think of a poem I wrote years back, trying to get through to another poetic soul:

"Distribeel"

Discouraged
Disheartened
By a pitiless world

I can't compare
Or find a simile
There is no cure
This feeling unsure

We people who care
Dithering in despair
Unduly believing
We are alone in our grieving

But then a voice rings through my head:

Wake up people!
Share your sorrow
Spreading the pain
Dilutes the rain

How do you know?
That no one understands?
If you pretend there's nothing
Wrong and keep toughing

It out in your mind
You deduct chance of any kind
To find out there's a spirit who
Has an intense feeling for you

VAA- the words of your poem- so true- they resonate!

Which poem did you like of mine, the one I posted today or the first?
Thank you for the compliment.
Edited: Ah, I see you meant the first one.
