MY CHILDREN OF SORROW

The sorrow is felt deep into this poem ,it is shared by the good world ,so close to home you have ventured this time my old friend , I can feel it like gravel- leafsailor

Your painful past has become part of you, "My children of sorrow, where will they go? The scars?" I hope they will stay deep in your bones, while your spirit will be free of pain and painful memories forever. That which seemed important to us for so long will be left behind.-LightH2O

GROUNDING

Just when you've nailed it, you have to deal with collapsing profiles and aliens. Sometimes it just is. - I read this one 5 times. o.k. - Blacpoet

and they all sing along, there's a steepy rocky path, high up near to the mountain, it leads to places where people dwell in white clouds, there we sit and marvel at sunset through fresh green leaves, as summer is about to burst in new songs.may your roads be auspicious.- SatSitatara

Dear Satish Verma, Ni hao. Good National Poetry, Earth and Jazz Appreciation Months, USA, to you. Thanx for an excellent read, without poets like you, where would the world be. Very generous and gracious of you. Yeah, you're a musician too, a poetic tapestry of intensity, emotional integrity and insight. Consider entering a poem of yours into my weekly Challenges on Starlite: 'A Bird's Eye View, Anew', and/or, 'It Takes Three Plus One (to make a collaboration) :). "Painting is poetry which is seen and not heard, and poetry is a painting which is heard but not seen." ~ Leonardo da Vinci. For those interested :) "of or pertaining to the morning, day :) relating to or happening in the morning or in the early part of the day ( formal ), (Mid-16th century, from late Latin matutinalis, from Matuta, goddess of the dawn.)".

TEARS WERE NEVER SWEET

"Flows the anguish in a cave." ... "Do not go heart broken into crowd." These two sentences relate. Good advice to cry alone (in a cave), the world does not need to see our pain. "...from the eyes of a grey stone." A grey stone, to me that would be a strong person, grey denotes sadness, so it means a strong yet sad person. "A fallen grace from sky, flickering like an earthen lamp." Yes, you are a grace (human angel) that came from Heaven (sky) you are lighting (flickering) here on earth. Very beautiful and revealing poem.- LightH2O
