Tears and Stains

Norman Wilson

Tears and Stains
My tear drops flow like the morning rain.
My heart is broken with a blood red stain.
She left my world on a gloomy summer night.
Suzie did not leave me without a feisty fight.

Her beauty was her love of her earthly life.
She was forever happy just to be my wife.
The stains upon my bed wallow all alone
My love has gone and left me sitting at home.

Someday I will join her and loose my pain
And be with that girl which shared my name.
My eyes will someday touch upon her face.
Where my blood stained tears will be erased.

IntroductionForgotten are the times the tick of a clock once chimed sobering sounds that caressed my hearts nightly dreams. As I awaken to the touch of light that burns upon a candles wick flickering my words for all to see. This drives my thoughts through the darkest of nights of loneliness that renders my quill upon parchment with ink that dances to minds and souls.Now I hear the screeching of my heart when the blue horizon covers the orb of emptiness.Within the shelter of my mind with little, purpose other than my words that keep me sane. These are my new poems I have written in the quiet of my night, forever wished away in a writer’s pain. As I strive to write that perfect poem that, my soul desperately seeks. Then and only then can my words rest upon a sleep. more…
