TEARS Sometimes I have a youthful hue and shine like sun in sky of blue but sometimes low I bend my head and trickle tears down on the bed. I feel them flow from out my soul but watch them like a movie show for they’re not mine, not from my heart or from the script of my life path. Held captive in the grip of fear my cries sound out, I join my tears and flood my heart with double pain that rushes upward to my brain. My head, my head, how can I sleep the pain inside, so deep, so deep, and then the day, a brand new day, how can the pain be still the same? It colours sun dark shades of blue then turns to grey horizons new and there upon my heart’s front door more tears flow down onto the floor. I’m drowning, yes, I drown in tears your pain through me; how can I fear the force of love that joins our souls and brings your pain as if my own. Today, tonight, I search the sky and reach back down into my mind but only when I hold your hand can love’s true light shine in my land. I wait, I wait, this land my fate until again I see love’s face!! HMH |

They say that nothing lasts forever but perhaps we can choose what we would like to hang on to. Thank you both so much for commenting. |

Dear Honeybunch! My dear friend. I was drawn to your poem by its simple yet powerful title. I enjoyed it thoroughly, and was much moved by your words. I hope so much that your love returns to you. In the meantime, know that you have a friend in the most beautiful country in the world!!!!! Our home...it gives us what only Africa can. Peace, and keep writing Love Sylvia |

Dear Sylvia, Hi to a fellow countryman! Sadly my part of the world isn't as beautiful as yours and crime shadows what beauty there is but still it is Africa where the sun always shines. Thank you for reading and commenting on "tears" - they've dried around my soul for the time being! Regards, Helen |

Thank you, Lady Peach. I guess one shouldn't really cry over love because to have felt it, to feel it, is such a blessing even if it only lives in memory. |

Thank you, China Doll. I guess pain is like the rain ... absent when it's most needed and an overabundance thereof when it's not needed. How contrary this world is! |
