a thought Saturday night that i couldn't do until today

april 15, 2013


Crystal solemn saline
pooling, over flowing.
Slowly running over
leaving clouded green eyes.
Whites now red with anguish
too blurred to focus on.
Flows now in grey lip hair
tasting of sorrow's salt.

Temples cradled in palms
low empty bosom sounds.
The quill laying sterile
on parchment stained with salt.
Flows not starting to ebb
head swaying side to side.
Cannot this heartbreak stop
this heart needs mending's start.

Alas, tears calm the heart but do not mend reality. While reading your poem, I felt your sorrow. I hope it's just poetry and not reality. A parent's heart is more sensitive than we think. Love to you and your family, your friend, who can see you through your words. May God give you peace, calm and strength to write. Love, Emile

The quill laying sterile on parchment stained with salt.
Of the heart the salt to kerchief lie to mend the heartbreak.

Not quite sure what is meant - I took you wrote about water affected by salt. Such a tragedy in Boston. What sort of people do these terrible things.

To be at this point in life and so heartbroken she can't even write! So sad!

This affects me like a silent howl, Budd. This could be a parchment letter thumb-tacked to a jillion happenings on Earth right now. You write of the Beast as greatly as you write of the Beauty. Keep writing. Thank you. ~~ Diana

Tragedy always brings these saline crystals to us...
It helps us get through...
Well and beautifully written about tragedy and I
agree with Ron, it's timed almost intuitively to the
recent tragedy in Boston...

Love and Light

Reviewed by Ronald Hull 4/16/2013
You have written about the tragedy in Boston without writing about it. I don't feel the same pain because I have no one close to the tragedy. The media's hustle and bustle and overblowing the result of some maniacal plot to kill people, has put people into the mood of feeling the devastation without feeling it. Believe me, yesterday many died around the world much more tragic circumstances that we never heard of.

One thing for sure dear Budd, crying will never cease, but joy comes to those who hope! My hope is you have peace and assurance, that this too shall pass....
These tears are liquid crystals of light, if only known from whence they come, bring healing to our souls...a medicine that cannot be reproduced in true form by man.

Moved and touched..

We all feel this pain. Your poem speaks volumes to all of us.
I am just so sick over this. I have family that lives in Boston. Haven't heard anything yet from them.
Go in peace my friend!

Budd, this sorrow of the heart pierces through the depths of your being, radiating soul sadness to those who taste the bitter loss.
Pain brings excellence of your quill.

Ah, Budd, 'tis the season for sorrow, yes, yes there is, just as there is a season for happiness, may the happiness season find you quickly.

Heart rending sorrow, a torn heart and eyes that seemingly flow over in an endless stream of salt tears.
May this writing be the start of this hearts mending,
May there be an arm to comfort this broken heart
And a tender hand to dry these tears.


Deeply touching Budd
