Tears Of A Clown

     Yesterday is gone
     Today to run
      Tomorrow will wait
       also to smile at
       the veteran mocker
      or the jubilant joker.

     But tears of a clown
     always to roll down 
     with heart beats of the joker :
     A veteran mocker.

     Dull days  are spent by the Joker.
     A veteran mocker
     amusing the spectators 
     hiding his tears
     flowing continuous 
     with each heart beat
     making himself fool simultaneous,
      showing himself ridiculous.

     It's his job
     none to listen his heart throb :
     always to be ridiculed by mob .
     Tears of a clown 
      rolling down
      in opulence ,
     intense or immense 
     yet hidden
    as forbidden 
    to express !
     His strain and stress
