The Tears upon your Cheek ~~~ In the heat of thoughtless anger some heartless words were said one glance revealed the tears upon your cheek Beneath a stubborn pride this foolish heart was fried when you turned and tossed your diamond to the unforgiving deep ~ The rolling waves in cycle were clawing at the sand without a word you turned and walked away This heart was crushed to gravel on the sand beside the sea with the sunlight gently passing from the darkness of the day ~ It could have been a picture for a future memory the setting suns' cascade with gentle breeze I sat there in the sand mere shell of hollow man with tears behind the huddle of my curled up naked knees ~ The seabirds distant call o're the crash of breaking surf my vision swirled as then to my surprise First a shadow ... just a blur ... your gentle touch upon my ckeek With your lips you brushed the tears from both my eyes ~~~ |

Wow... this was very powerful and well-written. I enjoyed it a lot! "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde "The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief" -Shakespea |

Rex, I don't remember reading this one before, but I'm awfully glad I saw it tonight. "with the sunlight gently passing from the darkness of the day" "mere shell of hollow man with tears behind the huddle of my curled up naked knees" ...sometimes your writing really catches me by surprise, as this lovely piece did. Very nice, my friend. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
