The last tear




Your words stabbed my heart, and I cried tears of pain.
"Get out!" I shouted.
"There are the last tears I’ll ever cry for you."
So you left.
I waited hours, but you didn’t return.
That night by myself I cried tears of frustration.
I waited weeks, but you had nothing to say.
Thinking of your voice, I cried tears of loneliness.
I waited for months, but you left no sign for me.
In the depths of my heart, I cried tears of despair.
How strange that all these tears could not wash away the hurt!
Then one thought of love pierced my bitterness.
I remembered you in the sunlight, with a smile as sweet as May wine.
A tear of gratitude started to fall, and miraculously, you were back.
Soft fingers touched my cheek, and you bent over for a kiss.
"Why have you come?" I whispered.
"To wipe away your last tear," you replied.
"It was the one you saved for me."

Hidden song

Gentle , warming sweet solace expressions of your heart in speech. For so long it was the silent air , the only antidote. Hidden was the remedy of voice. Touch thought to be the only solution, a heart can fool the soul it misleads a soul can break free, and live. Only then. Only now. In despair, life is here, the breath of voice, the tone of loss. Emotion can't fake, emotion can break Where is the comfort? Hold my hand. I desire a vocal dance.

It can be you and I

Closer each beat although our worlds are far apart. I open my eyes and feel it I hear it impossible is certain with just one touch. My destined belief enclosed in an embrace- my body yearns -and all at once I am released from my past to be lost in the very heartbeat that brought me here. -a vision of beauty. a king whose crown shines brighter than a halo, a king whose heart beat lives on through us. If only speech was louder than thoughts.

Don't shy away

I surrounded you where there is comfort. A lifetime of chance where I am waiting. Apprehensive, at first. Unknown judgment of a place that is far ahead. Better living for a broken soul, I'm never let down by you, you don't know the meaning. Your arms are a sea of love, your laughter the innocence of a child. Your tears are a burden of an ending world- yet you live forever. and that is where I am. With you.
