Contrast, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @brianrrs37 on Twitter)
My eyes gush
Leaking tears
Like the broken seal
On swimmer’s goggles
A rising tide of pain
And it matters not
The bright sunlight
Bursting rays of color
Into the flower garden
I only see tombstones
In a graveyard
While ignorant birds sing
(end)
This wasn’t inspired by any my love life today. But nobody ever forgets getting dumped or the pain of being told by your spouse they don’t want to stay married to you. It sucks.
It can be the most bright and sunny beautiful day and you still feel shitty and dark inside. Good thing though, and sometimes it may feel hard, but time really does help one move on.
One response to “Contrast,”
I love the poem and can identify with it well.
Purely from my own point of view, thanks for your reassurance in your last paragraph, Andrew.
