" AND SO, LAST NIGHT I CRIED..."

" AND SO, LAST NIGHT I CRIED..."

She placed her heart, in a flask
And dropped in on my life
I didn't know,
I mean ~ how could I?
We were world's apart
In Spanish dance, and merriment
And all-the-while, I was just
A misbegotten entertainment
An oaf, she'd found to amuse her
And so, last night I cried...

I'd never imagined that a one-time happy heart
Could be so ruined, and icy cold
Or even laugh at souls
In disarray, or heavy need
While all the while conniving in heinous greed,
Breaking the spirit of everything
And every one she meets
And so, last night I cried
My God, I wept...

It came to me, that It was not her evil heart
Or even a plotted course
But, a hole in her soul
That pushed her into the dirt of demons
And liars, that break the world each day
Leaving her to prepare for them
A smorgasbord, of empty souls
That have nothing else to do, but play
Manipulate, offend, and find a way
To make a person
Cry...

The strange thing is, dear friend
It wasn't the anger
Or sleight,
It was just the aching fact
That I even cried,
At all...

Tony Taylor   (Chicago)

On first read I thought the end a little disappointing, like it wasn't profound enough or somthing...but then 3rd go I think I saw that all the emotion you blamed her for wos actually toward yourself...really enjoyed this :)

Great poem dear Tony Taylor, thanks for sharing, my applause, my vote

I'd never imagined that a one-time happy heart
Could be so ruined, and icy cold
Or even laugh at souls
In disarray, or heavy need
While all the while conniving in heinous greed,
Breaking the spirit of everything
And every one she meets
And so, last night I cried
My God, I wept...

My love & my hugs

Great. This reaches heights of emotion that turn many on to poetry ! It makes them realize what can be achieved in lines rather than chapters.

Take care. Best wishes.

It's great to see you letting go Tony, in pain there is always hope
Letting go of what holds you down, means that you are free to fly
The best teardrop to ever fall, is in the name of the soul
Beautiful words my brother, much love nardine xo

Wish I could write like some of these other much more talented souls! But I'm just a simple poet writing in the simplest of forms, in an attempt to share what's in my heart! Tony my man, your a prince among men... in only a few lines, your words speak volumes! SUPERB!!! Jack xx
