"We Write The Words"

Something short and bitter-sweet...

We write the words we feel inside

To live again the tears we cry.

We find the words that keep us sane

Within the dark of midnight's rain. 

The days slip by seem so surreal

In time they say our wounds to heal.

Like Summer's Day without the rain

The scars may heal but not the pain.

And still we write the words we feel

From hardened hearts cold as steel.

And as I wake from shivers cold...

I smile and think of memories old

When in this life you spoke my name

And to this day I do the same.

You know I have this thing for poetry about poetry, it always gets me, but this is so much more than 'words'...a bittersweet read. It resonates within me....

When in this life you spoke my name
And to this day I do the same.

*sigh*

Just poignantly beautiful David, I can't say more....

I know...just remember how very much you are loved in this world...=)

[Kat Leila]

Another lovely poem! Its a terrible thing to awaken from a dream of love, and find oneself heartbroken over a man no more real than a piece of our imagination.

Even sadness has its place in life.....Thank you for reading me. =)

And one day the stilness will claim us all....
So for now and ever more
"Let us Live Well"
Till Heavens Door. =)
