Whimper Of Sorrow

by ADEL   Dec 13, 2009


I am in my eyes
I am in my ears

I am in this cancer
This cancer of grief

I am in my eyes
One split to none
And one lit alone
And unlit to sun

I am in my eyes
One peering high
And one rearing low
Over the sky

I am in my eyes
One rolling down
One falling up
And one lacking for rains
And parched to sup

I am in my eyes
I am in my ears

I am in my ears
One word unsaid
One voice and one sound
Both unwed

I am in my ears
A story untold
An unwritten plot
In books unsold

I am in my ears
One whisper of core
Another whimper of death
And one no more

    'I am in this cancer
    This cancer of grief'
    ^This really stood out to me--a unique way of describing grief, saying it's like cancer. This is definatly true.

    A emotion filled write from you--very nicely done.

    Your poems are always so sad, Adel and this is no exception. You can almost hear sorrow whimpering as you read the words you have written. Well done.
