Jo Mykle Hofseth Poet Free verse

You Have Seen Me Cry

You have seen me cry

Tears of sadness

Tears of goodbye

You have seen me cry

Tears of bitterness

Tears of wistfullness

You have seen me cry

Tears beside a tombstone

Tears that made the whiskey taste salt

You have seen me cry

I want you to see me cry

Tears of joy

Seeing you

Anil Deo May 9, 2020 at 6:04 AM Jo, wonderful twist at the end, which usually shows poetic brilliance & understanding. I wish you well, & tears of JOY (as Paul had after his Damascus Road experience) though he suffered much. I say it as a prayr as goodbye, "Shalom, shalom". Thanks, anil sook deo
