The Pain Is There Comments

2 - Flippers & Mask...[ Inspired By Lora Colon's Great Poem: " The Pain Is There " ; Short; Loneliness; Succor ] Alas, poor Lora, alone in bed at night, feeling the PAIN, albeit out of sight. If I could concoct 4 U a magic potion... to ease pain, I'd swim the biggest ocean. I'd first don my flippers and my mask. A smile in return is all, from you, I'd ask. bri :)

1 - favorite lines so far: " As the tide leaves, you'll hear the shore Crying out 'Please, come back once more! ' " I just sent to MyPoemList and shall share with others on PH. WONDERFUL 'write'.

A beautifully written, heartrending poem, Lora. Each tear stained stanza highlights the emotional trauma of losing, irretrievably, someone you dearly loved. Very sad.

Love and pain! Very common with us. But, there is hope ahead. Thanks for sharing.

An excellelent portrayal ofhow we all cover up our feelings, but they are there, and so very real to us all. Tango.
