Tears Are Words The Heart Cannot Say

by Ingrid   Jan 5, 2009


The flowers he is holding in his hands
are of the brightest colors ever seen
From his sad eyes the tears fall softly
in between the red, yellow and green

A swift wind rustles the oak trees
As a cloud blocks out the sun
It 's spring, the birds are singing,
the new season has just begun

Time stands still for him however
Looking at her picture, a face serene
He remembers when they first met,
the prettiest girl he had ever seen

He never did tell her how he felt,
just could not find the words or guts
Just happy holding hands and laugh,
but in his heart he loved her lots

A sweet smell of magnolias, so refined
fills his lungs and at last he sees
her appearance as if she is really there
In utter bliss he falls to his knees

He was meaning to tell her he loved her
and wanted her, on that very last day
Now tears fall upon her humble stone, so sad
when tears are words the heart cannot say

    What a sad poem Ingrid, but a delightful one.
    I wish he had said how much he loved her, but...too late it seems.
    It had good impact, and good imagery.
    I liked it.

    Sad. We should never wait to talk to one we love or just a friend, because they may not be here the next day or minute to hear what we have to say to them. 5/5

    It was so sad though.. but it was really well written.

    A sweet smell of magnolias, so refined
    fills his lungs and at last he sees
