Burdened Pearls

by Renee   Oct 10, 2005


Maybe, like the pearls hanging from my closet handle
You'll carry your own weight, with no light from my candle
No, you won't burden my neck with your best
that heavy chain of pain won't hang down to my chest.

Oh, but you don't know how beautiful you look on me,
The way the light reflects off of you so perfectly
I can't help but to pray for an event to take place
and I slip this heavy string of perfection around my face.

Please, give me this chance to make you proud
I want these pearl covered tears to be my problem now.
If only to ease your mind and free your tense shoulders
Oh it would mean the world to me, Just to know that you're happy.

Somebody please tell me these pearls are the new trend
so I can wear this distraught peice over and over again
I'd wrap myself up in your cold, smooth curves
and my hands would somehow find the source of your hurt words.

    How the hell do you do it? How do you write of things the way you do and have it make sense? You're an animal I tell you!!!! Excellent write Coonay! You're writing always amazes me. Since I don't get on at work anymore I'm rarely on at all...so I miss a lot of your poems and it's hurting my feelings. I feel an all nighter on the computer coming on. Terrible isn't it?! HAHAHA Anyway awesome write...as usual. AND YOU KNOW THIS MAAANNN

    The other poem...as I explained to Britt...started out about my brother and his family leaving. They moved to North Carolina...(well first to Texas) Anyhoo it ended kind of awkward - like a mushy love poem...so it kind of ended not really being about anyone...when really I guess it IS about my family. I must say them leaving as truly brought my spirits down. My sister in law called me today and she told my nephew to say Nat-Nat and he did and it broke me heart!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH lol I guess I'm ok though...

    Alright love I'll talk to you later....I've been trying to write the last couple of days and this is the first thing I've been able to complete so I'm on a roll!!

    Beautiful write Renee, so deep and amazingly put together. I love the way you put your sentences and the form you get your words out in. It's so magnificent, I wish I could write like you do. You amaze me. Keep your head up, and take good care,

    Love always,

    I like that poem a lot...it has a deeper meaning to it. A lot of poems lack that thought, so I really enjoyed this one.
