Best Tearful Poems

“My tears are testimony of my devotion to Beloved;
and from those tears white lilies will grow that speak the truth.”
Rumi

I had heard the legend of her tears,
silent drops of sorrow liberating her pain,
flowing upon the tip of her voiceless lips.
Her hopes descending like blossom buds,...

“Give them back! Give my tears back, right now—with interest!!”
—Natsuki Takaya


 She wrote her marine a letter, hopeful, bright
loved with her kisses and perfume. In sight,
the postman circles ‘round. Expectantly, she
hurries to the wooden box, near the Pear tree.

Spring is in the air with robins...

with thoughts of your being,
fading, slipping into a narrow 
delicate shadow as...

I still hear your name in the silent night…
It drifts away from my teary sight…
I couldn’t stand or breathe on my own…
The same old story with the pages torn…
But you went away leaving me to be strong…
A masking smile and a tearful song…
My strength sits...

      her short life, beyond my comprehension.

TEARFUL    MEMORY

It came from nowhere,  a surprise,
Suddenly stung her in the eyes,
Hurt there like an incision,
Rapidly blurred out her vision.
Welled up, swelling and filling  -
Tried to stop without spilling.
Burst  warm over lashes and lid,
Cascaded down her cheek  half-hid.
Tiny...

It's there my tears fall like rain with the thought of loving you. 
It's there my heart feels the pain of such emotion. 
It's there my mind is as I count the hours away from you. 
They say love is like a river. 
It leaves...

TEARFUL LANGUAGE
By Kerinth Campbell


Cry…
For each tear is a pearl of anguish
Which God Himself tenderly catches
And gently places in a golden bowl.

Cry…For words fail to tell of the
Searing pain and grief
Which twists like hot sharpened knives
Into the core of your being.

Cry, my dear, For if truth...

How do you say good-bye to a child that is so young.
The memories of yesterday when everything went wrong.
As I look upon your picture of the shell that is lying there,
It grieves my heart and makes me think that life is just not fair.

Although the...

tearful inside

as i crawl through phases
of my life's illusion
do i feel run over by stress
or is it just delusion?

why do i think getting ahead
serves no purpose
next week another calamity
will surely surface

depression lies deep inside as
problems mount
caused by relationships, family
or bank account

my worries run so deep,...

Sometimes it gets too steamy
Reality insists
On distorting our perception
As this heartbeat still persists

Sometimes it gets too frosty
When the winter comes to call
We scrape to see the road ahead
A strange fear that we'll fall

Sometimes though, there's a new mist
Corrupting twenty twenty
A sadness from a place within
An...

I'm sorry, You see

To my three beautiful boys
I'm sorry, you see
Mum's not quite been the same lately 
But I promise I'm getting better 
I owe it to both you and me 

To my family and friends 
I'm sorry, you see
If I've ignored calls and texts...
