Tears

Amalgamate my tears into the Sea of Tears, erect along the sea the city in which the echo moans out of pity for me, for you, for us, for I love thee against my will. Connect the empty streets to the crossroads whereat we never shall cross the pathways. Oh, how to sever all ties with you, to tear the receipts of your love potion in my blood, the scroll of honey spells you put on me to pieces, so I could turn your gold back into faeces of bat, a toad’s spit and a charcoal. The streets ran wild, the city fell bereft, the sea went dry, my tears only left. Love Potion Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Julia Ward
