Description: I wrote this for a friend who's going through a divorce that he really didn't want. I sat with him one day, just seeing everything that was going on in his head despite his poor attempts to hide it.
For Adam -------------------------------------------
Attempt a smile
as the wind howls
riccochets neverending
Punishes the ribs
The heart
Forces the external grasp
to slacken.
The storm rears in the eyes
in the vibrations of skin.
Let the rain come
The tempest take you
The lightening flash
and set fire upon everything.
Release it
let love warm you
heal the damage.
Allow- don't attempt
to smile again.
Ah, sad stuff certainly, and entirely too true, too often.... very ably done in your deft poetic hands here... I liked it a great deal ... bravo... bravo... bravo...
