"Listen To Their Voices"

Sally Roberts · 06-27-2007, 12:52 PM

The dark side of life's poetry
Is pleading to be read,
Gasping breathless through the depths
Of words that must be said.

When shadows cloud the evening skies
And mask their hidden choices,
Emote the words when poets cry
And listen to their voices.

The dark side of life's poetry
Can hardly be ignored,
When written with intensity
The verses are implored.

Listen to their voices
Written from the words of pain,
Ardor the poet's bleeding heart
As he bears his soul again.

wow we're seeing on the same plain today,

Thank you erik:

I thought I would write a poem through the mind of a emotional unhappy soul who is yearning for someone, anyone to feel their pain.
Touching words that scream for help and comfort.
I'm glad you liked it.

Dear Sally,

is an understatement! I felt this one for sure, and am in that poem. This was spot on in every word! The ingredients for this recipe will equate to so many poets. It did make me think, and it made me want to reach out and touch the computer screen, as if it has some magic connected with it. That is a great poem, with an affection factor of 1000! Thank you so much for posting this!
