Short Compartmentalize Poems

As surely as He will return
To reign above this earthly realm

The beat drops.
I slowly melt.

Be melting now
below my belt.

Tears can easily bathe the wounded soul
Flowing unhindered from sad, redden eyes
Do their part, helping the heart to console,
When desires, circumstances compromise
Tears can help us to compartmentalize
Sadness, and to uncover its sources,
There among our most precious resources
Then, while pondering on the deeper hurt,
And summoning our various courses,
Work with us, our future woes to avert.
