A single tear or multitude, what do they mean? Do they serve a purpose? no reason can be seen. A tear drop is so small but expresses emotions from deep inside, Of which most women are in touch with, while men run and hide. So who is the stronger sex, one that shows her true passion, Or he who holds it back in some macho fashion. I was there for many years, more of a man if I did not ...

from a broken past its pining

a voice never far from whining

for her there's no silver lining

 

still has long lists of her goodbyes

kept a record of all their lies

hot tears bubble in her red eyes

 

a rip in an embroidered sheet

dust under other peoples' feet

why couldn't life be safe and neat?

 

if only she'd learned better tricks

how to absorb life's bitte...

the tears are gone

her eyes are dry

dawn breaks unblinking in the sky

 

I've confessed all

my conscience clean

surprised she did not make a scene

 

all those women

the casual lies

yet no questions or fluttering whys

 

no hint of shock

her sheets are blue;

I told her what she already knew

 

she'd sucked it up

loved me so much

forgiven all just f...

latest tears not necessary

descending like ripe apples

hapless hints of discontent

the dew sunlight dapples

 

I remember when we met

calf with a hint of muscle

smile like morphine drops

amid a mad festive bustle

 

not a gratuitous weeping

eyes dry as desert dunes

she swayed like Salome

irrespective of the tunes

 

veils swathe damp eyes

dismantled all...

years brimmed with men

their feats litter the years

lovers made me cry, life

not whole without tears

 

sprinkles of teardrop joy

tears of pleasure or woe

better than bland smiles,

tears with no place to go

 

tears springing universal

weeping tourists glisten

covering a million miles

for a man that will listen

 

each tear a badge of love

a validation ...

sensitive about her body

gym doing physical jerks

I praised her endeavours

my flattery usually works

 

then came a stupid row

for jealousy of her friends

that fresh independence

envy ease of mind rends

 

my criticisms undermine

confidence to be curbed

barbed comments, digs

her self-worth disturbed

 

warned her shape awry

put her mind on the rack

g...

Saw him crying,
a friend's father died today,
what can anyone say?
--the emptiness of trying

in that, this passage
of advancing age
we all are departing,
puzzled by the parting

filled with fears,
and pent-up tears
trying to make sense,
of a tangled past-tense

memories stab
the inner core like
clawing a scab
scratched bloody,
grief
an unwanted buddy
the only relief

trying...
