Today was much like yesterday
another day to hide...
The feelings anchored to my soul
carrying wounded pride
I try my best to wear the mask
and hope she doesn’t see
Yet deep inside my heart I know
my love has eyes to see
It’s hard to carry on each day
when all I do is cry
But even though you see no tears
there is a flood inside

ReplyDeleteWhen one has so much to say and yet can't. What is felt and sensed but can't be relayed. Each day becomes a oddness of emotions and feelings and although the world is moving, everything is stagnant inside.
Simplistically woven and says so much more than it may seem
Thank you for sharing it with us
There is some very strong imagery in this poem, I like the fact that almost anyone can grasp hold of it because they've been there.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is amazing. I loved the imagery as well. I can totally relate. Wonderful write.

"Here is one of yours I had somehow missed. This is fantastic, john. BIG congrats on your well deserved win."
Jon, you really capture how it is so hard for some of us to show the emotion, but them that are buried deep inside feel their power amplified through our very soul. Excellent poetry sir!
ReplyDeletegreat emotive poetry ... but we can act the part, subtle is the woe entreaty, but noble is the art.... thanks Jon, mate....

As long as the dam does not burst and successfully keeps the water from flooding the plain, you will be in good shape. This is another very descriptive poem Jon.

J UnitedPoets AndArtists A nighmare for a woman that loves a man is knowing he carries a burden in his heart that she is not aware of. Unless of course, she is the one that placed it there. Very nice read Jon.. Very sad, but I'm a girl that can appreciate some sadness in her reading.
ReplyDeleteMargaret Gudkov I agree with you Bill..who said that man cannot cry?issoo hard to keep all pain inside one day it can blow like atomic bomb..
