"Tears seem like a
waste
unless someone
sees them,"
I said
as we drove through
rain covered streets
in the dark

You reach over
taking my hand
I watch the rain
fall on the windshield
matching the shapes
of my tears.

This played out in my mind's eye as a sad scene from a black and white '50s movie...

You certainly were able to paint a somber picture with your poet's brush.

A delicate touch you have, Dear Poetess.

Such strong lines to tell a deep story in so few words.  Great illustration.  Hugs Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

rain has a way of doing that
lending itself to the mood
or does it paint the mood?
nice portrait youve painted here

I can't think of a better way to cleanse. It's always nice to be loved at the hardest times. I sure like the way you write, lady.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Enchantress~
Poignant !

Elicits a memory from me ...
I used to hide my tears (many years ago) ...
but came to realize that they were, and are,
such an important barometer of feeling that others should share ... how else could they know that at the very moment of their falling, I need ... that tender touch of someone who knows that they fall for me~

Thank you, sweetie ... I love this~

let me know when it is LOVE that I find*~ <))><

"You reach over
taking my hand"

This line was endearing to me for tears are always softened with a loving touch.

Your writing invokes memories for me ... excellent write here Dear Lady.

always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same
