Coded Emotions

 

 

Coded Emotions

 

Like Morse code on dampened glass,

raindrops form a weathered phrase

interpreting this broken heart now

dripping in endless sorrow

of un-breathing days wasted

on paned emotions

 

Even the midday sun

briefly pushing away clustered clouds

can not erase the stains

streaked of weeping moments,

salted in so many fears

and wonderings…

 

Shattered, lying in pieces,

transparent mosaics of jagged will

cut deep and wide on this tired skin,

bleeding out in pools of disgrace

as I translate the moistened dots and dashes

to find that they merely ask…why?

That they do. Atmospheric and insightful.

I often toyed with the idea that Nature sent messages in various forms, the ocean waves, cloud patterns, stars... rain as Morse code is a great one. Such a painful write; very well done and crystal clear.

Thanks so much Mark. Glanced at my office window today and that is what it looked like to me.

Days are wasted on endless sorrow , but the weeping moments are worth it for the beloved. We have to wait for the sunshine to appear from the paned emotions of fear , worry , disgrace feeling and so forth...Excellent...:)...............

Life can be a serious fucked up ride sometimes. This poem is a good expression of that

[Jack...]

[Carolann Dowsett]

So sad Jack yet so amazingly written. I can feel your pain and loneliness here. Another beautiful write.

Thank you so very much Carolann.

Breaking my heart Jack, love the imagery here, it's etched in pathos, yet so eloquently written you still come away satiated in it's elegance. Killer first line my friend.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much my sweet friend. Any sadness I might feel instantly disappears when you visit my world.

[Frieda P]

I better visit more often, the corners of your poetry mouth have been turned upside down lately. ;-)

[Jack...]

Well they are heading in the right direction right now.

"morse code on dampened glass" - what an amazing metaphor that would certainly create challenges for any message to get through to it's intended target. You carry the theme of "windows" through really well, from glass, panes, streaks and shattered pieces. A superb analogy of heartbreak. The final line holds much truth and often the only remaining question is in fact "why". I could relate to all of this. well done. Justine

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much Justine. Your kind words today are the smile I wear.

Such emotional imagery.

"Even the midday sun
briefly pushing away clustered clouds
can not erase the stains"
