{{{ Bathe in my Tears }}}



Here I stand…..
Before you
My tears plenty
As if I have gathered them all
To spill them before you
Yes
They are here
Stand and bathe in them
Step from behind the boundaries
Of this limited flesh
And see the being who
Gave forth
This outpouring.
See the skies
That tormented
Its lands
With floods of rain
See me
Praying endlessly
For it to end
And not come again

Bathe in my tears
As they slowly drop

Come close
Rub your cheek with mine
And feel the dropping of tears
So sublime

Taste them as they reach you
Know how much they are full
Of woe
Perhaps they’d tell you
What you should know

Count them with your own breath
Let them teach you the way
To breathe
Under a torrent of endless rain

Wash your face
with their precious drops
let them flood your eyes
perhaps you’d see
how much they are
So full of me
Let them paint your every vision
With all the colors they hide
Tell you the story
Of the other side

And as they glide silently
And dissolve within you
Let them give you a taste
Of the aching soul within
That stands so erect
Through and through

Bathe in my tears
Stretch your hands
And rub these tears
Along
Every part of you
Let them tell you how much
They are true


And when you finish
This unearthly
cleansing bath of pain
stretch your hand again
wait for my perfumed rain
to flood you again
and make you forever
whisper my name

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you

Oh, this is sadly beautiful. And we are all crying now, I think.

my friend. . .

truly. . . you have penned a work of art. . . that touches the heart. . . and speaks to the soul. . .

Thank you as always....

and I wouldn't ask for a higher prize than touching the heart and speaking to the soul....especially if it is of poets as yourself....

Thank you dear friend

When I read this, I'm taken away.  

Your words are very well done, and come from the heart.  Thank you for sharing them.

You wrote this so well..it is a poem to be read over and over again to understand all the meanings within it. It is also very true.
