My crippled heart has eclipsed the sun
but it still it bleeds
its crimson light upon my face
here high above the clouds
where warring angels' apocalyptic cries can still be heard
like clashing swords through my damaged soul
blinding my red stained eyes
blinded by my bloodied tears
the ones you reaped
from these sterile lids
raped this wintry composure
gently, sweetly
with your precious melting words
Bittersweetness I taste
in these tears of desolation
bred by your love
as they flow onto my tongue
choking me..
this strange new poison
that has since been killing me...

wrote this about the first tears i cried in ten years. i always hated crying but that day things just became too much to bear. i was on a plane and there was this amazing amazing sunset. it looked like the very heavens were bleeding, red light everywhere, red clouds.....truly magnificent!

I love the end of your poem. You cried once in ten years? wow, that's scary, I've cried so many times in 10 the ten + 1 years I've lived.
Thank You For Sharing And Entering
