COWARDICE

Cry my love, cry.
A man's cowardice
Shows surely,
In his inability
To shed tears.
Weep on my shoulder,
On my breast.
The warmth of your tears
Makes me more woman,
Than I have ever been.

Thank you my love,
Thank you
For caring enough
To share with me
Your sorrows.
I appreciate
Your faith in me.
Knowing
That I love you so,
That your tears
Cannot drive us apart.

I am indeed
More woman
Than I have
Ever been.

I am an enigma, even unto myself.
A puzzle unsolved, a mystery maybe until beyond death.  ©das

There is strength is a man's tears. Well done once again SPIRIT. Chris

that perches in the soul....

SPIRIT:  It seems so hard for most men to share their sorrows and tears.  To me it seems like such a healthy thing for a man to do and certainly strengthens the bond between people, when it happens. Enjoyed your poem, as I have all of your others.

Spirit,

I probably will never understand why men don't feel they can show emotion.  I'm glad you have found a love that is strong and beautiful and where you both can share your emotions.
