Whispering Faces

Missing image

 

Whispering faces
Millions
Ache in empathy
Everywhere privately revealed

 

Sacred hearts unwrap
A gamut of emotions to make the soul
Swim in absolute motionlessness
Lest the tempest swallows forgiveness

 

And oh, how some people fade away
Into those whispering, tired faces
That we hear poets crying over
Quietly upon empty beds
  
Tear stained trails
Steam rising, glistening cheeks
Loneliness prevails nevermore with racking sobs
To show love lost & found beyond the veil

                T

    Great use of words, very beautifully penned, full of emotion, the sound of sadness prevails throughout the poem, but its very beautiful. If you have time, I invite you to read my poems.

    On with the revolution Tim. A tribute to those who ache. My aching is done for now, content and blissfully happy, and salutations to those who dragged me here. Good to see you posting again, hope all is well.
