If My Tears were Ink
I pen with black ink
but I lack feeling
of heart and soul.
I may as well write
with a piece of coal.
I’m so depressed for
I’m not in the pink,
my emotions shredding
as my heart starts to shrink.
Maybe my words
would come alive
if I were to strive
in another form?
Perhaps it’s possible
I could achieve it
if I truly believe it
if my tears were ink;
my misty eyes
are making me think.

Dear Gerald,
ReplyDeleteAn original way to express feelings while being sad. I imagine what would happen if my ink tears would rain down on a piece of paper.
A lovely poem, thank you for sharing.
Best wishes,
Inge

ReplyDeleteEmotions are an excellent source for good poetry, Gerald. Sadness can be very inspirational. Regards // paul
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteDear Gerald,
ReplyDeleteThis is one of your best poems ever, my friend. The depth and emotion ring true. It's also a piece that writers can relate to as we all go through our own tears in ink. Thank you for being a part of Whispers all these years. Your support and encouragement have been greatly appreciated.
Blessings,
Karen
