In Her Tears

I find myself, helpless, as i look out of the window of my soul,

at a beautiful face, flooded by emotional tears.

Her feelings of love, are so dear to me now,

for yet it seems, in those very tears, i find myself.

Even my heart, and the greatest love from inside me,

is only a small piece that is falling from her cheek.

For everything i can do, for all that i am, even my tenderness,

is all but a very small sacrifice, that i see in her tears.


Her tears are my passion,

for In her tears i yearn,

Her tears are my desire,

for in those tears are my love.


And i see in her tears, the promise of life,

i was never alone, for her love remained.

For her tears are a reflection of my soul,

for in those tears, i see us, and i see love.
