early in the morning blackness

what makes a heart weep

what makes a heart sing

what makes a heart love

it is beyond our description

the hands touch a soul

the words stay on paper

forever tenfold

what makes the tears come

without even trying

 crying and crying

pain is no dance

life is no prance

sorrow  a liquid

that burns and

tears  within

do not consider it

a self possessed  Sin

[Space Enema]

Such a dark ending. The last part makes me think of an alcoholic. Actually, all of it does. The drinker thinks of the good and bad times long past. Reflects upon it all and attempts to drink it away. His or her sorrow burns going down. Tears in a liquor bottle. Good read.

i like your interpretation, also

[Relic]

The heart experiences seasons too. Rain, wind, storms are bound to occur freely on their own. I like this.

relic just want to add something not always on their own.,,, sometimes profoundly painful things happen that cause the rain wind and storm of the spirit.. thank you for your commentary I like it!

i don't think we can help being self-possessed....it is the way life is...we experience and we process, then we react and do the best for others...but at the same time taking care of ourselves.
