Stalactites
Over the years
my tearless longing
will form marbly stalactites
in the dark cavities
of my mind.

Metaphors to the galore Ms. Chi this leaves sad but a beautiful impression the back of my mind. Perfectly titled for sure.

At least in your head, dart,
since my head is overfull
with no place left
for great images.
Thank you anyway :-)!

Ah! Don't be! But thanks for the good wishes!
I didn't mean it in a bad way!
Just too much work at the moment.
For once, this is NOT autobiographic :-).

This held a heavy sadness to it, :( ... But I must say it was powerful n well penned :)

Thank you so much, Poe, I'm glad you like it. And please tell me, if you're not quite content with my expressions! I like that, too!

Non-existent tears can form a hardened existence over time. An acceptance of unfulfilled longing, perhaps. I might be way off the mark with that interpretation. Good way to make me feel & think, & that's what I long for here. Thank you :)

Your interpretation is right. I wanted to express that unshed tears turn your heart and your mind to stone ... Thank you for your insightful comment, ButcherScraps!

Stalactites, yes, they are fascinating and a great metaphor for tears!

Thank you dear Liz! As stalactites are formed by dripping water they can be easily related to tears.

somber to find those impediments, naturally formed of loneliness, in your red-haired cavern...

This struck a chord ... I keep a piece next to my bed bc it's suppose to help with addictions. To think the tears could all be used to forge forgiveness ... recovery ... redemption ... acceptance ... all the elements necessary towards conquering an addiction

I afraid I haven't achieved what I thought I would. No addiction was meant ... But thank you anyway!
