MORE THAN SAD

They say the eyes are the window to one's soul-

But the soul is bared in tounge

Expression so easily spoken

But not one ear to listen

 

They say you can see a persons heart from their eyes-

But many find ways to conceal

Generically wearing a placed smile

But the smile only can cover so much

 

How deep are the eyes when tears are like repetitive rivers-

But no one will visit them

uncomfortabley they back down

From finding the source of flow

 

In the dark the eyes are true

displaying visions of real life

In the dead space of time

Where one will forever live

 

The eyes are only portals between human and soul-

Mines can not sound off

Nor no longer pretend

That the soul is well

 

Sadness can not be conveyed

Happiness can not be conveyed

Just blank darkness connected to my ears-

I rather be lost in blindness and suffer in my thoughts

Reviews

[Ed Hart]

You are very brave to share in this way the hurt and lost parts of yourself. Your words are very touching. Your loss and distress have not gone unnoticed, here, or in the larger sense. You know what I mean. I hope this day is better for you than that one...Ed

[Poetic Beauty]

This is an open honest true poem. The flow and word choices in this poem portray what you feel amazingly allowing the reader to connect with the emotion involved. It takes great courage to write a poem of this stature and post it for everyone to read. I know I have hidden my feelings deep inside and put a huge smile on my face, but from time to time I prefer the numb feeling over the pain from lost love or loss of a loved one from this earth. Depression is a strange emotion indeed.

[Kenny L. Mitchell]

I did do what I wanted with it. I read it, appreciated it and then LOVED it. Lady, you are such a talented writer. When you're mentioned in the same breath as Nikki Giovanni, Maya Angelou and other serious writers, I won't be surprised at all. Great work my sister. The beauty of your gift is so evident. GOD bless!
