    Poem Commentary

    An old poem of mine I wrote when, I had lived so long in the past, I almost literally turned blue, lol.

    The Purple Heart

     Running in its wretched fears,
    Drying in its subtle tears,
    Lies the Purple Heart.

    The balance is broken in the sands of time,
    Tearing from the present,
    Lying in the past,
    Dreaming of the crescent.

    Are you crying for a truce,
    Hanging on a noose?

    Often broken,
    Never spoken,
    Dying in the passion,
    Running from all fashion,
    Are you dying on a noose?

    Gasping for a breath of air,
    My lonely heart I cannot bare,
    I ask you to please be fair,
    Just a little release,
    I will make any fleece.

    The lonely Purple Heart,
    Struck by a bladed dart,
    Dying for a little release,
    Just a hint of peace.

    Once a caring red heart,
    Now lies turned and scared,
    Purple in its cages barred.

    Blinded by a bloody moon,
    Binded by a presence soon,
    For in the path of distance I do see,
    By the faith of God a busy bee...

    So young to have known such a place, so sorry to hear of your pain and torment. Your comments are too kind as i am humbled and honored but such gracious remarks, what can i say but thank you! I hope and pray this is a place that you do not current live as it is no place and no condition for light, love, and inner peace. It is only a place of darkness, turmoil, pain, suffering, torment, and severe loniness. I am honored and humbled my friend for your apauds, that is a first, lol. Who will ever forget that moment when we first found out, when we first watched in utter awe, the whole world glued to a TV, who can ever forget it and perhaps it is better we never do. Thank you again for your comment as they are always greatly appreciated and always welcome! Purity of the soul, journey well!!! with grace and humility your dear friend always ANGEL

    35 and escalating! This Purple heart I have just read once more. Your poetry has become so different. So styled, such descriptive wording and yet still the inner meaning for all to look within. A true poet you are groomed not from poetry classes but from your inner talent of being able to peek into your emotions and even your soul. J, you bring the reader to where no one has gone before. Not quite sure where that is. Just very deep and though some of your poetry is this way, some is in the light and purity of the soul for sure. mom. I just love the bumble bee! can't get over that one. I still chuckle when I read it since when I first did, I had no clue. Ha! My poet, my son.

    how many times have you read this one, lol. You are starting to embaress me mom, lol. I did study quite a bit of poetry in highschool and early college and have taken bits and pieces of what i learned to create my own style. I rather not try to be like someone else but rather be free and myself, always, whether good or bad, I am me. Purity of the soul, journey well!!! with grace and humility your friend ANGEL aka your loving son

    Knowing just what to leave unspoken is what adds volumes to the narrative, but I see you already know that ha ha. Really excellently done!

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
