“TEARS COME EASIER NOW”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
The tears come easier now,
I’m not sure why they do…
Reasons I really don’t know,
they must be about you…

At first they flowed slowly,
far apart in time it seems…
Then started coming sooner,
even at times in my dreams…

Now I wake during the night,
my face at times is wet…
Tears come from my eyes,
almost like a moist duet…

My heart also speaks its tune,
it seems it wants to weep…
Keeping in beat with the tears,
happens awake, or when I sleep…

So the tears come easier now,
you taught me, and I learned how…

(BIG HUGGGSSSSSSSS) Oh Bill, this is sooooo compassionately beautiful, I too cry more than ever and much more easier now that I have found my Joanna, especially in joy, knowing such an angel so lovely exists, and sometimes I cfry in yearning too just longing to feel her heart beat against mine and hold her hand forever and walk the world with her! (sigh) You have such a big golden heart, sweet friend, never change who you are and may true love always have you crying in joy, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bill, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

beautiful Bill, heartfelt tender and just so beautiful...

Like a red brick,
in a white wall
somebodies brush
forgot to paint...
lonely....(as sung by Tracy Lawrence..)

We sometimes forget the cleansing of the rain...and the beauty the bursts forth from the effort. A hand extended in the rain my friend. ThisDiamond

~Sinking fast into
an ocean of you,
what if I told you,
what if I said
that I love you
do we dare cross
that line between your
heart and mine~

Your words speak with a clarity of pain...a lesson we'd rather not ever have to learn.  Be well, BC.

It seems there is a cleansing of the mind and spirit when we let-down a little. Tears may not completely wash away the pain, but simply release a little of it along the way....

- Warm thoughts and kind wishes extended your way.

You almost have the form. Except for a four-line stanza de trop and the fact none of your lines are in iambic pentameter, it's a sonnet. I have yet to write a 'correct' sonnet. It's the iambic pentameter that's the *****.
