to a nymph

Weep not my dear,

Weep not-- and bear--

Bear your maple tears

We’re here!

We’re your collective pails.

 

Weep not my naiad

Weep not and bear--

Bear the vase ‘til the river

Cries for fury

For the bareness of your feet!

 

Weep not my dear

Wipe those brittle crystals

For your old torn shoe

For the envious shadow

Just lurking beside you.

 

Let not any denouncement

Permeate in a guise of judgement.

Let your bosom speak,

Speak! break- the Handiclamp

Who had bound you by the wrist. 

 

Weep not my dear,

Weep not and bear--

Bear your maple tears

For we are here

For the oneness----

Of  I and we is here.

Let it be her downfall. It's a disease and I know how it can be to be addictive but you convey the message she needs to hear. You can't change her but you can convey it. Word flow is immaculate and descriptive words are over the edge. Way to go. Write on.

thanks a lot... i had written this for a friend of mine,, i did want to soothe someone who is in deep anguish,, i assume the form of a barber who can cut another person's hair satisfactorily,but i am devoid with the ability to do the same to myself whenever i bleed.

You left me no words to say, Seath.
What I have is only "powerful overflowing emotion that I will collect in my moment of tranquility" then will be back if I have (already) the courage to share it, but here's a promise : the nymph shall reply!

P.S. You will be punished for this.

[seath]

and by then it would be called "the nymph's reply to the poet"
let it flow freely
without you knowing it,you are at the stance of warming many hearts because of your works....

What an immense, intense, and beautiful write....
You're such a good writer, and I'm glad I came upon your page tonight.

- Elisa p.s. will check soon more of you!

[seath]

thank you for that ,,, i just want to convey my meaning whenever I’m coiled with these choking emotions ,,, not only for myself but for others.... i could be a friend to anyone, though i'm idiosyncratic at times
