   RETURN MY TEARS 

The darkened sky stole my tears
soprano crystalline they quickly disappeared 
Lucy my name still neat to tweet, though
inner ocean could no longer drip sighs sweet
desert dry goals, set anew, a different stew
He no longer beheld teary dampened hues

 charcoal cloud-lips licked tear salt refined
eerie seraphim pointed saffron south where 
fears were consternatingly narrowed near 
Danube desires for red velvet attire or
focussed cease fires mattered little
life performances madly tearless brittle

it happened during a talisman thunderstorm 
this certainly phantom-like for fairy form
soul aches to touch streamlets down rosy
cheeks so charming, petulant part 
of story lost, when eyes dam up but 
cannot willow weep, sleepless songs seep

to soak satin midnight pillow a disappeared 
right in dim bower, choking hours
‘forget sad droplets !’ flowered cupids harkened,
‘Heart scrubbed clear from harlequin waters
 your taffeta tears glisten on thistle in 
Garden of Eden, closely listen !’

wolf pacified, ‘not to worry, you can voice a howl’
gobi bear beckoned, ‘come prowl with tawny owl
we will hear symphonic larks in operas dark
tea-rose tears are for unopened hearts
 stealing kisses or wishes with swishes
eating sumptuous dishes’

sob I wanted to so bad, be singularly sad
feel drips on hands and feet, wash out eyes lubricate lips with self’s own mineralised H2O
enriched emotion to finely comb, then hit Home
Dark sky ! Return my tears ! Hear Soul’s plea
Tears, my liquidised diamonds, an oasis for me
