~ You Want Tears ~ You wanted some tears I’ll give you tears I’ll give you some brought on by silent fears There are the tears that fall when you’re all alone And the tears that run when he doesn’t phone The tears that streak across your face When you realise that you’ve lost your race You want some tears well how about these The tears that spell out a heart's silent please You wanted tears I’ll give you so many more Here are the tears that fall when your soul is sore Try to trace the tears that speak of lost hope Or a mothers tears when she know she can’t cope There are the tears that speak of a child’s pain And tears that fall from a soul like dark rain You want some more, tell me will these do? Will these tears of anger and rage satisfy you? You wanted more tears, I’ll give them for free Have the tears of sadness they’re not good for me The tears that fall from the eyes of a lost soul Who has battled and fought but still isn’t whole The tears that rain down falling without end Or the tears wrapped in a letter you had to send You want tears? You really want to see this? The tears that witnessed betrayals cold kiss You wanted tears these are the last I’ll give These are the tears of joy that a love will live The tears that flow when you see a baby born Or the way they gather at the sight of a morn The tears of a mother at her child’s first nativity Or the tears that touch a heart with beauty You want tears? Then let me give you all of these Just leave me the happy tears if you please Marsha Juanita, (I said I'd be back) Keth, 'Deer and anyone else who's had me in tears lately, this is for you. Juanita will this do as a dueling piece? And if so, then Keth I said I'd think of a suitable retibution. Revenge is a dish best served cold  Now where's yours? The gauntlet has been thrown.No more tears now I mean it. I refuse to cry again today or this week. To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

Opeth thank you muchly, to be quite honest the only reason this came about was because between Keth ‘Deer and now Juanita I’ve cried so much I’ve getting waterlogged. ‘Deer can be excused because he does his poems soooooooo well. Juanita normally has me in fits with her wonderful writing, and her Dear Santa is utterly amazing, but the beginning was so sad I was blubbing in minutes, so I said I’d be back with a duelling piece this was it. I thought I’d give everyone the tears back.   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy By the way I’m going to have to give everyone individual replies 5 smilies per post I simply cannot do it. You know I love those smilie faces. So forgive me xxx dear poets To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

Circe darling girl thank you, Did you miss me then love? Surely not, I was here I was just reading in the archives. I know I wasn’t around much but it wasn’t because I didn’t want to be, it was that I needed a break from the busy forum. I was here but sitting here quietly in the background. Yes they have all had me blubbing like a baby, so now they get to have them back. I call Keth the collector of my tears anyway. She is always making me cry. A deliberate ploy on her part, because she knows wet and soggy I’m not a match for her Now don’t feel sorry for her  she thrives on duelling with me Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

Cheryl thank you so much that is a very sweet thing to say. You really are too too kind. This is only a play thing for me. And just a little bit of retribution. Just call me Nemisis, I am almost a daughter of the night I said almost As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

You may be playing, dear girl, but you drove home the point very well. Now make me smile...for you've driven me to tears, and that is enough Mush for one day... |

Juanita darling girl, this is me playing about, I’m really pleased you like it but as I say it’s not really serious. Although with some so called friends out-matching me at every flick of their pens. I mention no names me, but the words perfidy and unfair advantage spring to mind. And yes Stevie darling boy I do mean YOU This is one case when it's unfair that your Mama can call on you to assist. She could if she wanted to outrank me but she is just playing at being contrite. You know i love you both don't you? Good I do. Happy Holiday's to you Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

What a stirring poem of a simple word. It has such significance to just about everything. A very serious and effective writing. I am extremely impressed. I am also saddened by so many examples of sad tears. I'm so glad you saved the happy ones for the end the poem. God Bless Roger |

Marsha, you know I don't do happy, so it will have to be mania instead. Visions of sugar plums dance in my head the image created turns black and then red my tummy is aching myt back is so sore from eating that pudding, hauling those gifts through the door I will have nightmares now your tears to keep and visions of Santas will haunt all my sleep stuck in a Chimney near the North Pole somewhere to give you a happy tear, though you don't care I cannot do happy I only do sad don't ask to do this, it makes me feel bad. Oh very well if you insist I must But only for you whom I love and I trust. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
