Tears Of An Irish Clown. Poem by Mizzy ........
Tears Of An Irish Clown.
I shrivel 'neath a scorching sun,
Devoid protection for my skin,
An aching grimace, I'll show none,
Worse burning pain suppurates within.
I wander naked through the rain,
Although my body fully clothed,
This broken love ne'er to regain,
Only in dreams we join betrothed.
I trace her footsteps in the snow,
And further on discover four,
A melting tear I can't forego,
The hurt bites sharp as glinting hoar.
I ramble lonely in the wind,
And taste her breath on every gust,
The rose that on her blouse I pinned,
Dead petals fell, and blew like dust.
I fall thwarted on lush ground,
So soft the breast of mother earth,
From looming hills my cries resound,
She comforts me for all she's worth.
Dim twilight dulled the failing day,
The robin shared her even' song,
And as we went our seperate way,
I blew a kiss! .....but she was gone.
I read this poem a couple of years ago. I'm glad I found it again. I think I will put it on my favorite poem list so it will be easy to find. Regards, Kim
Such a painfully graphic description of inner pain. Very dramatic, great structure - we can learn from you.
Oh! it's such an emotional and uplifting poem! not sad but very inspiring!
I wander naked through the rain! And traced her footsteps in the snow. Nice piece of work.
Wondering in rain and following footsteps give amazing feeling here definitely. Rambling lonely in wind also expresses humor. Very amazing poem this is really. Interesting sharing.10
