I've written many words about the loves that I have known... <br />The heartache that it's cost me, winds of sorrow that have blown... <br />Too many times, too many hearts, I didn't even own... <br />And harvested the crops, of the loneliness I've grown... <br /> <br />It's taken many years to realize what has gone wrong... <br />To have and hold a heart in mine, to be where I belong... <br />Too many nights, too many fights, to right the many wrongs... <br />That's why I sit and listen to the same old sad love songs... <br /> <br />I peer into the mirror now, and all that I can see... <br />Is no reflection of the man I tried so hard to be.... <br />Eyes stare back through crystal tears, and harsh uncertainty... <br />The lessons found along the way, do not encourage me... <br /> <br />It's a long road to love.. you see? ... <br /> <br />To think that love may rise again someday, within my heart... <br />And goodbye not come 'round to tear the happiness apart... <br />Far beyond my thinking, though it's lovely, painful art... <br />So I must stroll the gallery of hope, at least in part... <br /> <br />The hope of what could be someday, a hope of love sublime... <br />To ease my crushing need for love, to calm my troubled mind... <br />Open up my eyes for me, and know that I'm not blind... <br />Allow me to believe again, in kindness, and in kind... <br /> <br />I feel that I must give myself the hope to carry on... <br />Free my heart and soul once more, devoid of loss, and gone... <br />To search for my desire, before desire is done... <br />Perhaps someday, and with God's help, I'll find my only one... <br /> <br />It leads me... Farther on... <br /> <br />dean evans 2-19-10<br /><br />dino evans<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/crystal-tears-8/
