Perennial
Torrents Of The Heart (Shadorma)
The heart of man…
The best way…
Who I Am
I see myself
as a positive person
except when I’m not.
Yes, I’m a happy gal
full of laughter and smiles
though tears can sneak up
on me, too.
You see, I am all of these things
and none of them as well.

every thought like a
teardrop from the sky.
do you think of me,
or have i passed you by?

With most poems I prefer to write some explanatory notes on why I chose my subject matter and whatnot. With this poem, I think I’d like to keep the backstory personal, and let you take away what you’d like from it.
I’ll leave it at that for today.
Until next time,
