No reason left to cry


Trees brawling in the storm
feed this lyrical moment in time
outstretched limbs reach towards the sky
the rope tightens around
an opaque pride
and into the urban wasteland
vanity's solitary figure cries
release me from this uncertain worm
buried deep within this conflicted mind
as freedom beckons beneath a gossamer cloud
lay my beating heart on the ground
let me taste once
what has always been denied
then release the snarling dogs
and let them feast on sanity's demise
invite the dawn chorus to sing
liberate my soul
throw my ashes to the wind
the cheque book is now empty
and there remains no reason left
to cry.

a poem that grips at the centre of the soul

Zoya Zaidi
Wow upon wow, Ricky darling!
This one fisrt goes to my list of bookmarks, then only I pick up the pen (keys rather) to comment!

Very powerful and profound!
It has a certain effect on me I FIND HARD TO DESCRIBE!
As if someone is renting my heart open,
As if someone is pleading with the wind,
As if some one is whispering hoarse near me,
As if someone is crying close to me,
As if some one is shouting "Halleluiah!"
As if some one is prostrating in front of Thee!
As if someone is my brother own,
As if some one has the pain that is my own,
As if someone has a soul like mine,
As if some one has a heart that is mine,
This is what I feel when I read your poem,
This is what my heart cries,
Rik, dear friend of mine!

(((((hugs)))))
Love, xxx, Zoya

I feel that I have some kind of understanding when it comes to many of your texts. I've written things with a likeness in tone so many times. It's really great to see ones own thoughts put into words by gifted writers.
