Heavy rain
      in my soul
  Heavy grays

as if I toil
  underground
  in a mine
  with weeping walls
      dark with grime

 

Blue skies
      Autumn golds
  Vivid honeys

I behold
  with my eyes

But inside
  dark gray skies

 

Your touch is warm
  But I am numb
  tired
  weary
  I've become

  dark and gray

Heavy rain
  in my soul



I despair
can't believe
we'll make it through
you and me

as a couple
as a pair

 

Heavy grays
  everywhere

 

not honeyed golds

 
 

Is it old grief
welling through
bruising the day
me and you?

 

Or is it the truth? -
there won't be
a couple
made of
you and me?

 

For now
despair



blue skies
your warm touch

barely touching

the rock of fear
the wall of chill

as I plod onward
led by my will

 

but I long for
a nest
a rest
a love that fills

stills

the cold gray rain
      in my soul

HEART BREAK HEART ACHE POETRY

What about when the heart aches?
What about poetry of heart break?
What about poems that are not all about ...
all will be fine and dancy
life is sugar candy...
What about poems of heart longing?
