I leave the tears
for they have no place

freeing my heart

I reach for beauty

I surrender

you have a tremendous ability to say so much with so few words. Very powerful.

S....thankyou...so very much for your words.

teasingbrunette, I enjoy reading your poems, especially those that are lighthearted and playful, such as Taste ("fresh morning snow / tops the mountain edge / caressing tree tops / seeing how far / whiteness can go / white / white").
I also like haridassk's version of ~reverence "TEARS WERE NECESSARY IN LIFE /IT SOFTENED YOU MORE / AND MADE YOUR INNER EYES SENSITIVE TO BEAUTY / AND LOVE". His optimistic flare resonates with me more than the stoic "I leave the tears / for they have no place".


Thanks for the inspiration.

Since I'm new to this community, I would like to know if it's acceptable for someone who hasn't posted his / her own poems to critique others'. Just wondering.
