Hello, my heart
the pushing of your heartness against my ribs
the tears that become cold droplets as they find their way down my cheeks
the sobbing deep breaths that leave me breathless
I ache to understand you
to shift this roiling silent wail
into a message
to build on
to share
I ache to release you
to my voice
to my soul-family
I ache to restore you
of me
as tears fade
their memory remains
in aching eyes
so much easier to bear
than the ache of my heart
as time goes on
we will meet
small child
in need of the warmth of acceptance
beautiful woman
in need of a child’s message
Teresa, I just learned that clicking on the highlighted words takes me to a new page by another writer/blogger and I wanted you to know it was such a delightful delicious surprise to find these gems hidden in your poetry. What a wonderful exploration! Thank you for this and than you for your message!
