My deepest desire, to sit insideย
a single teardrop, to know the deepest thing from tears
manna from heaven, to fall inside,
witness the chime and bell. A tall tale of woes,
mewling, cooing, bursting little things
have you ever cried over a box of chocolates
have you ever put your best foot forward,
have you ever had a silent scream,
ball up inside fetus position,
returned -incarnations,- it be-
rain from my own soul, nana’s scent,
mascara running, leading a midnight of
stars, tangent pearls of rivers streaming
right in my own front yard. And just when you thought
you were finished, an army of one, made you surrender, wave the
white flag, shimmed you- upside down, say its’ name,
I’m crying, and I’m proud.

Thank you for your reminder of crying over a box of chocolates, of my gramma’s scent and for the challenge to be a crying warrior like you.

This beautiful poem has so much emotion behind its words. They are almost palpable to me. I really identify with the part that reads – ‘have you ever had a silent scream, ball up inside fetus position, returned – incarnations,- it be- rant from my own soul’. Just perfect and so expressive.
I was just looking back at some of your older posts – even back then (2013) you were an excellent and talented poet. If I have a chance, I would like to read some more of your previous works. In the meantime, I’m looking forward to reading what you next decide to write. Take care, my friend ๐๐ผ๐ท๐

This is so meaningful to me. I have not cried over chocolates, but I cried over a bowl of spaghetti. Silent screams hurt the worse, when we don’t want anyone to hear
