Touch My Tears, Touch My Soul

TOUCH MY TEARS, TOUCH MY SOUL

My Tears
overflow my eyelids
stream down my face
from the heart of my soul
A visible expression
of my inner laments and joys

My Tears - my soul liquefied
My Tears - the dictator
and victim of my emotions
Powerful, powerless,
warrant pity, love and trust

My Tears - presently restrained
only to exude later
abundantly
in my moments of solitude

My tears
assuage my sorrows
cause my fears to panic
soothe my pains of happiness
appease my anger

Touch my tears, and you
Touch my soul

This is very moving Brynda. I especially like your third stanza with both powerful AND powerless dictator. A beautifully written piece! Linda
