Tears of ruby red...

Sometimes in darkness the light is brighter..

 

 

I walk among all

Into the darkness of night

Yet within I move

 Within I see the light.

 

I am voiceless

Thoughts move to and fro

Eyes of blood red

Yet with lies one throws.

 

Speak, thoughts whisper

Loud in my brain

Tears run down my cheeks

For alone with my pain.

 

Distant I stand

Far away I remain

For blood on my fingertips

Forever they stain.

 

Sins I have passed

Deeds I have done

Chastise I have known

Now voiceless I have gone.

 

Tears of blood

Stains ruby red

Lying upon my pillow

The loneliness of my bed.

 

 

Yes....

Tears of ruby red...

 

 

Stain...

For inside I'm dead...

I am sure you capture the way millions of people are here, with their inner selves disconnected from the walking around selves. Maybe one of the greatest cunnundrums, is which is the real us? I wld trust a poet to give me a better answer any day than all the shrinks in New York. Maybe artistic expressions, such as your poem, of the stresses in us give a far more understandable picture of what it is to be human. I suspect that these feelings are actually perfectly normal, reflecting our peculiar nature which is an alloy of the physical reality and active intelligence.

This is brings much to the table in my mind, the duality i know i have....i disconnect from what hurts, i cry for that part but keep it forever in the dark...showing only the light side of myself....
you have put into words perfectly how my inner mind feels at times...

great job!!!

Really feeling this one.. your words do the title perfect justice. Deep and profound in sweet melancholy.
Very much enjoyed your descriptions and poetic mood.
