Heartbreak
Ah, My Tears!
Flow! Flow! Flow unhindered!
Run your course along the mounds of my swollen cheek
Rinse away the toxins stockpiled in my skull
Add taste to me by your salty content
Let your fall break my brokenness
That I may find healing
Ah, Pain!
Carve it deep on my heart
That I may never forget
Narrow my eyes
That my vision may be sharpened
Ah, emotions!
Bleed! Bleed!
That Life may flow out of me
And pulse in my words

In this poem, I preserve the memory of a painful break up

That was a very beautiful poem there, i really respect and appreciate poets, I have tried so many times to write one but ah, havent succeeded so far.
I'm glad you're a christian and thanks for coming by my site, I appreciate it.
Well, the Biblical echoes are concentrated here.
The salt seas of Marah, the bitterness to be faced and turned sweet.
The hardened heart--as in Henry Vaughan-- to be melted.
Even Donne..."Batter my heart three-personed God": only by breaking can man be made whole.
Even Christ, whose "fall" became his resurrection and mankind's.
A nice Divine Love Poem.
And outside the Christian...it works on a secular emotional level too.
