I envy your tears; they know the depth of your heart like no other. I envy your tears; they trace the soft contours of your cheeks as I watch from the distance. I envy your tears; they emerge from the well springs of your soul in all its hues and tones. I envy your tears; they taste sweetness of your lips.... as I dream and wonder. ~P |

Men need the release of tears at times as well. It really is nature's way. Holding them in is unnatural, but there are those in our society who feel that a man is less than a man if he sheds a tear. So sad. It makes me want to cry... This was a lovely and sensitive write by a compassionate man!  EA |

In envy of tears do you leave your heart parched needing reprieve of river's flow, to swallow the current and drown the sorrows that well inside your soul? In envy of tears do the "what might have beens" bury themselves beneath eyelids too weary to blink away the embedded memory's grain like sand awaiting the tide? In envy of tears you stand alone, waiting to touch the rosey wet of tender cheeks in need of envy's plead to break the distance between..... ` ` Im not meaning to hijack your thread, but you got my heart and mind thinking and wanting to react to this lovely poem you have written. Its such a sweet thought i just wanted to reciprocate it.. (ok, so i know im not the subject, but i certainly had fun pretending!!)  |

Dear Dawn, Don't you know that for me, the highest compliment, is a poem in response, in so doing, you pull on and extend the thread, beautifully, eloquently, lovingly... ~P |

envy her tears from a distance as they drown themselves in the ocean where yours too find resolution From a distance beyond the pale of tears as lovers touch- the sun shines in a blue sky in eyes that sparkle silently |

So lovely and tender. It reminds me so of one of my favorite songs "jealous of the rain". Beautifully written and I can feel the longing. Susan |

The song I spoke of is on the Shania Twain CD "UP". It talks of being jealous of the rain, of the moon, etc. It is so beautifully romantic and speaks to my heart. I hope you listen to it, it is quite lovely. Susan |
