Bottle of Rain

The end of one love is the beginning of another.

I've come to bury the last of love

beneath this willow tree

In the deep forest I went

where no one else could see

___________________________

Held within this bottle of rain

are the tears I cried for her

The many nights I couldn't sleep

as I dreamed of how we were

___________________________

I'll place on it no pictures

spin thrice to forget the way

Save in me the pain she flowered

leave the dark for light of day

___________________________

I'll never visit her again

forever play all day in the sun

But night when no one else is there

I'll cry of her as the one

 

Tate

 

Author's Note

Yes Virginia I must have a heart. I think it's broken

Reviews

[Shelly Braen]

Such quiet and sorrowful pictures you paint. I feel as if I walk through your pain with you and feel the breeze within the willow you buried her under. Such a shattered heart makes everything so quiet, no? Such a strong piece, with the focus of a single journey, as a tear from eye to ground. I weep with you.

[Corset]

What a beautiful but sad poem Tate, very well written.

[quinfinn]

melancholy comes first to mind, and yet you speak so eloquently of (in my words) facing life and its inner demons to find life anew and muddle through. my God, Tate...i have lived and breathed these very torments and your words ring true. so soulful and intimate
are these trials...pains...excellent write my friend

[KristynRuth]

Wow.. this was amazing.

[lee von cleef]

Bottle of rain, your work has done for me what I could not do myself.

[Marie]

Very ad. But yes, it is legend that you must bury your love in the wood.

[Muse]

gracious me....you wanted to depress me...or enlighten me?

[Penlady]

That part of life that lives on even after all the memorials are held. No matter what else we have that we deem important, the loss is still important enough to attribute a poem!

[Adrien Hupp]

This poem is sorrow put to words. Each line speaks of the pain a broken heart can bring to the one who suffers. Each person has to deal with heartbreak, but sometimes it feels like your whole body is broken. It's a great read, beautiful.

[Mauricio Montoya]
