Drying Your Tears Tear drops fall from your hazel eyes and my heart stops a beat at their sight. I pull you close to me, try to take the pain from you, make it my own. My cheek lays against yours and your tears burn my face as I whisper, "Darling, it will be all right." My tears blend with your own, your pain, now mine; our tears become one as they fall in rivers on the sheets. I dry your tears with gentle kisses, soft upon your face, shelter you from pain in the recesses of my love. Our bed becomes a chalice and we drink in each others sorrow finding salvation in each others arms; pain washed away giving rise to passion till we forget there ever were tears. ------------------ Man can not discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore. |
