Charming ladies wake to cry
and it’s like there’s no stability
to keep the eyelids dry.

But what is stable, firm, and set
if not and only love’s resolve
hidden in the folds of time
and not yet risen up?

Later still they make to sleep
as if the weakness disappears
when mind left so in comatose
touches on the truth
of love’s latent though abiding
strength and fortitude.

And yet daylight like an evil one
walks in to dissipate
this amazing force
and again leave behind
the tears a woman cries.

Charming ladies, yes, they are
but too they’re lovers wed
there on the inner side
where stands the truth of love
till outward bound it flies
to shine out of their eyes.

But of the eyes and of the tears
‘tis just the mind that disagrees
with life’s preordained patterns
that zigzag horizontally
on a mismatched colour sheet
to highlight only scraps
of the bigger picture.

Charming ladies, dry your eyes
but still the tears they cry
confirm the need and feel
of a hidden lover, see?

Dear Helen, wisdom and heart flow harmoniously in this beautifully crafted poem ... and the tears! They are part of romance, no love without tears has ever been seen on this Earth I believe!

Love and hugs.

Thanks Margherita and Arctic Wind. I'm a bit late in acknowledging so for that I apologize. Couldn't see through "them there" tears, you see.

Wind Walker - Thank you so much. I do appreciate you reading and commenting. Oh, but the best is always still to come and if we didn't think that then we might as well just give up.
