Falling Red Tears

This poem addresses why I am not reviewing poems and writing as much.

Red Roses bloom around me
A swift dash of steel divides
Falling...or failing?
Like a bottle unopened
It remains trapped inside
Whispers of tomorrow echo the past
Failing...
          I am failing at everything
I don't want to compose
Seedless fruit that will only spoil
As they will never be tasted...
                               never be chosen
Failed

or....like so many others....you continue to try until it all comes back...which eventually it does.....creativity doesn't die .. it just hides in "Dark Corners" until it's ready to rear it's beautiful head again..sometimes however, you just have to jump start it a little...
I thought this write was more than a small step in that direction...
keep on keepin' on Raven...
This was a terrific read...

I have to agree with the other reviewers this was a good piece. the sense to defeat and depression are easily felt in this piece. Good job

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goe..]

there is so much beautiful imagery entwined in such an angsty write...

this combination is splendid over here.

I can so relate to this one at this very moment in my life. You know how to deliver Raven. And you do it with such a unique style that is classical Raven. And I love to devour each of your works of artistry. Excellent!

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A very masterful and hard hitting piece, well done

[SoulCrusader (Yas)]

Hard hitting and powerful!!!

Top write :)

This is such a chilling, such a moving write.

"I don't want to compose
Seedless fruit that will only spoil
As they will never be tasted"

I can sense a deep, profound meaning here. So tragic when a life is summed up in one word - Failed.

The poem is impressive but I hope life goes on and winning is in the offing too.

Thanks a lot for sharing Raven. I loved reading it.

There isn't a poem of your that doesn't make me go like- woooaaahhhh! I like the title, well at first I thought it would be something sappy, but I like how you compared falling/failing roses to red tears. I hope you havn't lost hope in everything thought, your poems are wonderful :)
