For they are the tears of a clown...

Love, sometimes there is never a winner

 Oh, mon chéri Je t'aime tellement!

Oh my darling I love you so!
I cry deep within each night

For my heart is with you
My soul, yours
Though God knows
I have tried to fight.

These tender moments
Moments that I alone must bare
When all is quiet
My tears are beyond repair.

Hush... Dormir...

I whisper to the moon
Dormir.. Sleep..

Yet I can not
For in sleep comes dreams
Of you my love
Of what we used to be.

And I weep..

For what was
What is now gone
A love so gentle
Like the softest of love song.

Heart broken, I stare up at the moon
It speaks to me
The words gently moving towards me
Oh how dark the night stays.

As my tears fall slowly down
The brightness beams down on me
The words come forth
Ah yes...

Car ce sont des larmes d'un clown ...

Yes...


For they are the tears of a clown...

This is impressive. Such emotion and the way you expressed it reminded me of myself. I do like clowns and I have a collection of them. Me, myself often feel like one and possibly when I cry my tears. This poem will remind me of who I am.

Magnificent, I don't know what language "Oh, mon chéri Je t'aime tellement" and "Dormir" are but I love the use of it in this poem.

(Bel et triste. Si mélancolique est cet amour.)
(Beautiful and sad. So melancholy is this love.)

Sadly we mourn even the loss of love...

[Sean M. Addams]

very sad but beautifully done ... great job on this ..

[TheFemininePad]

I agree that this is a very sad piece. I think you wrote this very well, and the poem flows so beautifully. It's amazing how you used your imagery to convey this sad tale. I don't see how I would improve upon the poem.

Very sad piece it seemed to me but beautifully written as always

[Ladysue]

wonderful images and ending to this sad piece...beautifully expressed..nicely done...

[Forest Green]

Beautiful, though sorrowful. Sometimes expressing the depth of feeling surpasses our ability to define and categorize.
Excellent touch with bilingual overtones...causes one to feel the lack of one single language to describe the hurt inside.

Definitely top shelf...
