Feelings Poem by Danny The Dreamer Boyd

Feelings flood then us just overwhelm;
And what else should do such an excess?
Seeking signs of bliss only us to helm;
But bliss' always paled to ones you can't possess.

Keeping busy by thinking all the thoughts away;
But busy we're not when they keep to regress:
And so we try to sleep; yet do dream astray,
Of those who we lost, and feelings of distress.

It's always darkest before the dawn, yet
Slowly lessens the dark, too sadness less;
And hope shots a spark that those feelings let
Apart and offshore, and no more us oppress.

Hence we begin ourselves to load
With words: to bring us weal or woe;
Yet those that we did shun still showed:
Then froze those lips that could not go.

Too hard to replace or to embrace:
So we seek other means to success.
Hearts beat loud and blush doth one's face:
When smiles are about and scars redress.

Wounds are all sealed and despair doth egress;
It's time to give in now and feel the joy alway,
Send sincere blessings, and all emotions confess,
And stop all future guessings, and prettiness portray.

What good are words when they can't express:
What just one wants to say?
All ears, lips and eyes amiss;
But hearts speak still, so do those feelings gay!
