Silent Tears Fall

Silent tears fall, in the pain of it all
The moans become shrieks as I try not weep
a spring from the depths of my soul

The tears become rain
to carry my pain
to bottom of my wrenching heart

Bleeding within
I see again
she who is desperately sought

Whisper again in silence and tears,
comfort as left me to rot
with nothing to gain on edges of pain

Rain falls in torrents in the ebb of an ocean
flowing to embrace the river it knows
and longing to see it again

So let this misery be at the bottom of the sea
a soul has become as empty as a kettle of black
to boil over its contents in mournful lament

Silent tears fall, in the pain of it all
The moans become shrieks as I try not weep
a spring from the depths of my soul.

Lots of pain and torment here and you've conveyed your grief well. It flows well too and your ideas are linked cohesively, well done! I felt your deep sadness and your lament for her....

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

This is written well to the point that I could feel the emotions in this write!

[Susie Q]

This truly touched my soul since this is how I am feeling right now. You expressed it so well, the loss of a loved one. Thank you for this heartfelt write.

I love how people say 'inked'. It makes poetry into a tatoo.

[Thea]

very sentimental piece... touched and pinched the heart .. :-) Great Job ....

[R J Askew]

I like the refrain verse. I also think that tears and pain are a vital part of ever poet's emotional tool kit. If we haven't felt pain we are not in touch with half of life. You have it all in this poem, with great emphasis on water, rain, tears, seas and depths. The soul is almost and ocean, The Soul Ocean. In silence and tears is I think a line that Byron used somewhere. But I may be wrong.

Silence can be deafening.. It can pound away and you have definitely conveyed a good image of the way we can hold things in but the pain brings inner screams that refuse to remain silent and when there is no release.... Silence can be all consuming.
Nicely done.

[Kenneth The Poet]

Very stirring. Painful through the being.
