Coded Emotions

 

 

Coded Emotions

 

Like Morse code on dampened glass,

raindrops form a weathered phrase

interpreting this broken heart now

dripping in endless sorrow

of un-breathing days wasted

on paned emotions

 

Even the midday sun

briefly pushing away clustered clouds

can not erase the stains

streaked of weeping moments,

salted in so many fears

and wonderings…

 

Shattered, lying in pieces,

transparent mosaics of jagged will

cut deep and wide on this tired skin,

bleeding out in pools of disgrace

as I translate the moistened dots and dashes

to find that they merely ask…why?

One word... Bravo. *Claps*

[Jack...]

Thanks so very much Angel. I am thrilled you liked this.

[Blue Ivory]

Wow. This is so deep. I read it twice it was so beautiful... It's true rain is considered a symbol for when someone's heart is in pain but this just takes it one step further!

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much my friend.

The shortest of questions, with always the most complex answers... Sorrow from your depth, Jack...

Your opening lines danced round my head a bit, and led to this:

Like Morse code on dampened glass,
raindrops form a weathered phrase
cryptic lyrics keep the beat
leading through the tearstained maze...

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much Rita. That verse is beautiful, thank you for sharing and letting me know this poem touched you.

[Cassie]

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much sweet Sunshine.

[Raymond Federle]

Hidden code of the soul... awesome! Well done Jack! :)

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Raymond.

Does nature tell us what to fear...what to dread? Coded messages from raindrops are read only by those for whom they are intended...I am convinced of that. A poem that bares deep emotions....raw and honest! Written from deep down in your soul, Jack. Lydi**

Thanks so much my friend. I always appreciate your kindness Lydi.

My sweet, dear friend - my heart is breaking reading this poem right now... My eyes are filled with tears ready to fall but I know that no matter what happens there will always be someone there to pick you up and bring out that smile again, doesn't ease the pain in this poem but at least the sun is shining a little bit. :-)

I loved this one my sweet friend, although my tears are about to fall....

[Jack...]

No crying allowed on my page Sye. Thank you so much.

[Matt DeFranco]

I really like this theme and how you relate the raindrops and window to heartbreak and the emotions that come with it. Very creative, Thank you.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Matt. I appreciate your visit today and your kind words.
