John Lawless Poet Verse

Tears On the Wind

Tears on the Wind


I have shed tears.
Tears that never fell,
snatched by angels
lest they dry without
acknowledgement.

I have wept, sobbed
as tears cascaded,
a river of hope
to douse the fire of
disillusionment.

I have cursed
hate’s acid tears.
Railed against the
gods and demons
incoherently

I grew weary
of the tears
shed alone
in nameless, shapeless
dark places.

I have shed tears.
Tears on the wind,
free, unremorseful,
unrepentant
Tears on the wind.
