Perhaps they mourn and long for a life mate,
one that does not end with merely a few dates.
One commandment says not to witness falsely or lie.
For that reason, I cannot say that doves really cry.
So, a sound is made for a loving romantic connection,
one that will be pure and wholesome without rejection.
Somewhat similar to the behavior of the human species,
except that we find ways and means that cause us to leave.
Tear-ducks and watery eyes do not a cry make,
but there could be 'mate-longings' causing heartaches.
It's not proven that they have tears of emotion,
but perhaps they have proof enough of their devotion.
Indeed, their relationship is lifelong with far less commotion.
Noah used a dove to verify the readiness of the earth's surface,
resulting in a new beginning for all life including the human race.
God used a dove to indicate the descent of the Holy Spirit from above.
Want a picture of innocence and harmlessness? Take a snapshot of a dove.

Perceptions, like tender sun rays, swiftly peep in,
With inference as sharp as the prick of a pin;
Comparison, like a physical balance, weighs,
With the sound of assertion, awareness does blaze...!
Like a light that illumines the properties, dense,
Permeates the cognitive conscious common sense;
Steering the mind, senses, breath, and each emotion,
Physique-psyche oneness becomes the life notion...!
As the consciousness, that springs from unconsciousness,
Undergoes the process of pre-consciousness;
Awareness from self turns to the universal,
As leaves of fall form communion at dispersal...!
Openness leads to awareness, the Bible says,
Awareness leads thoughts, words, and deeds in divine ways;
Knowledge of self directs to the knowledge of God,
Halal that's done in awareness, Islam does laud...!
Conscious stillness in silent equilibrium,
Sweeps away, from within, mental delirium;
Harmlessness to self and other creatures creeps in,
When conscious awareness, in rhythm, minds entwine...!

Honeybees circle,
Girl sleeps beneath... soft breaths
They will not sting her

come to me.
regard my web with disgust and wonder.
come to me and let me show you
how you will love that you hate
as long as i can spin a beautiful web.
how you mistake smallness with harmlessness.
how even you believe poison to be honey.
i play with those stuck in my web.
don't touch it, you don't understand how fragile it is.
stay faraway from me and send your love from there.
stay there, don't come any closer, stay faraway, away from me.
you'll break everything i've worked so hard to build.
you will break my body without heistation.
never forget the poison i carry.
ah, but i never meant to hurt you.
ah, i meant no harm, forgive me.
you tried to catch me in your net.
but i am not your butterfly.
hurry, leave this place before the poison spreads.
and stop your crying.
you won't die.
