Tears Peers grow wisdom through their tears Through our fears and through their years They lubricant your taking hold Of being bold and growing old. A soother and an agitate A smoother and a pay for freight. The mad of sad and ploy of joy A bare and wear of our employ. It is a potion drawn from thee It is an ocean and the sea Of agony and ecstasy Of things that may or may not be. A compensate a lavaliere A pendent hung on chain of sheer. A cloths line drying in the sun Of all the wash the heart has done A tear, a drop of vintage wine That ripens in the hearts entwine. Glimmer and simmer of a goal The blood and essence of our soul. So savor every loin of tear It is the coin of human peer. |

They lubricant your taking hold Of being bold and growing old. A soother and an agitate A smoother and a pay for freight. ====================== It is a potion drawn from thee It is an ocean and the sea Of agony and ecstasy Of things that may or may not be. A compensate a lavaliere A pendent hung on chain of sheer. A cloths line drying in the sun Of all the wash the heart has done A tear, a drop of vintage wine That ripens in the hearts entwine. Glimmer and simmer of a goal The blood and essence of our soul. So savor every loin of tear It is the coin of human peer. ======================== this poem needed to go on forever ... it will in my winkie heart... what an exceptional piece of poetry every verse is wisdom kissed ... my oh my Sweet Sy ... you touched infinite with this one ... did some flying too ... and got me sighin "A pendent hung on chain of sheer." "Of all the wash the heart has done" "A tear, a drop of vintage wine That ripens in the hearts entwine. Glimmer and simmer of a goal The blood and essence of our soul." me thinks thy tears are as sweet as raspberry tea *winkiewinkie* me loves ya Stinky. If my slight Muse do please these curious days ... The pain be mine ... but thine shall be the praise. ~Shakespeare~ |
