Ask not.

ask not the heart for it shall grieve
having seen the seeds of love germinate
only to get burned down to ashes.

ask not the eyes for it shall weep
having encapsulated an imagery of your visage
only to be washed away by the blues.

ask not the mind for it shall trouble
having woven a beautiful tapestry of dreams

only to see them shatter all around.

ask not the soul for it shall whine
having attached itself with strings of emotions
only to have them pulled away.

ask not the words for they shall blabber
having poured in ink, the best to their forte
only to fail in reaching and making themselves heard.

ask not me for i will remain silent
having tried my best to give in my all
only to find myself in the throes of despair..

A amazing poem. Repetition made the poem stronger and gave the description reason and purpose.

This is so beautiful, and yet so sad. I agree the repetition really made the piece! It is amazing how sometimes i can read others work and it feels like they're are reading my mind, in which case this piece does. And you just stare at the piece in awe, wondering how I could not come up with those words. Excellent job. This really is an amazing work of art, that expresses emotions so deeply and tears at the very inner core of the soul!

Many times we will find ourselves in this mind frame. It seems as if the world closes its ears and eyes to our bleeding of blue of emotions. It seems like only negative things are created even out of the things that were once beautiful but have faith for there are small things that can make a big difference in this world of gray and blue.
