My Castle Is In The Forest Of Tears Poem by Jac Harper

My Castle Is In The Forest Of Tears

Rating: 5.0


if every tear i've ever cried
had germinated a seed to life
i'd have a forest at my feet
with castle turrets strong and neat
protection of the sacred keep
within a moat both and wide deep.

no thing, be it alive or dead
would speak of danger in my head
for my forest born of tears
would keep me safe and hold no fears
i'd know by heart the tracks and trails
i'd know by name the beasts and snails.

uninitiated 'others' if they dare
face peril upon entering there
for my scented forest with its verdant hues
holds infinite tests with secret clues
that none may know; though some may try
in the forest where my castle lies.

Self explanatory...like it. An intriguing poem, one I can relate to. Although my anger and rage would have used that forest for kindling ages ago. ;)

Only the truly gifted, dare to live through their emotion and cry rivers or even forests of tears. And still fewer are capalbe of writing wonderful poems like this one about it. The great imagination that is iimbedded in these verses is revealing really a great poetic talent. After the darkest hour, comes the brightest dawn. I wish you all the best and hope that the brightest of day breaks may engulf your life with light.
