Luna laments her lost love...
tearful ocean born

broken down from years of pain 
tears still cling to cheeks 

dripping icicles 
melting from intensive heat 
dubbed out by my hand

Of Being and Strangers

What stranger walks in this valley, envying the flowers in his tearful eyes, flowers that flower, never having to ask the question, who am I?

Zooming at the very end
Yelling around I find my way
Xtremely touchy and tearful

Premium Member The Power of the Divine

The drowsy power comes creeping,
Stepping into a disadvantageous fight,
The enigma bites at the tongue,
Every thought is a tearful revelation,
The power of the divine...(snoring).

Here's the Real Deal

Scared, anxious, and tearful
Hopeful, wanting to get it over
Thoughts random and racing
Not the life I want or need
Wells of brine, release the tension
Vibrations, spasms of grief
Form:

Quenched

Love drenched,
Thirst quenched,
Heart clenched.
Desire sated,
Pain abated,
Feel elated.
Tearful fears,
Yearning sears,
Love endears.

Premium Member Tearful Smile

Tired of lying about why she is crying,
She soon unleashes the truth of how she is feeling,
But nobody, close to none, knew the true meaning
Behind how she is always deceptively smiling.

New York From the Above

Tearful scared face sobs
Implosion of mute whispers
Two reflection pools
Host ghostly towers of light
I see my kids bring flowers...

Where Are You Now

I'm talking
to an empty bottle
and the aggressive cats
of loneliness
brake senseless rhymes
without pain
making things visible
for tearful
eyes

the sky collapsed
i don't know 
how

where are you
now?

I Am

I am a drunk, 
Iam a punk, 
 
I am a romantic, 
I am Frantic, 

I am Loud, 
I am proud, 

I am fearful, 
I am tearful, 

I am a dreamer, 
I am cleaner, 

I am a worker, 
I am a hurter,

That Annoying Neighbor

That Annoying Neighbor

Why do babies fear their shadow 
What of the dark stalker do they know 
With tearful eyes 
Their voice cries 
For clouds to mask their foe

Hurt

All it took was a NO
Anticipations and desires smashed
Could anything be more devastating?

Stupid am I for expecting
Unwise I am for wanting

A tearful pay for the thoughts
I wish I did not try.

Introspective or

Life's highway we alight.Now
Crestfallen,then tearful sad,
Pensive,wistful blue
Steadfastly our moods show through;
Close up or afar
Our moods make us who we are.

We the Humans

We the Humans

How sentimental
How cruel too is humanity
Buster bombs.

A dog asleep
Near its master`s casket
We get tearful.
Faithful dog
How sweet.

Children`s death
In deep tunnels
Isn`t photogenic

Tearful Regret

A dear heart aggrieved may find it hard to offer reprieve
until the heart that yearns for such mercy sinks to the grave. 
The heart consumed by hate 
may mourn hard but it's already too late.

Gabby Gertie garbles news.
Lusty Lester likes his booze.
Twixt the two, tall tales are told.
Seven salacious stories sold.
Tearful Tillie hides her face.
Loathsome lies lead to disgrace.

Premium Member Fruitless Cycles

retched, a stomach twisting curdle
sour, the bile that rises from malcontent
tearful, yet, tears are futile, a waste of water
understanding seems never to come or come too late
all one can do is suck it up and try to love again

Premium Member Gods At War

The gods at war again
Throwing bolts of lightning,
Torrential pummeling rain
The sky is dark at midday
The gauntlet has been lain,
Tots find it all so frightening
Tearful 'til the beast is slain.

Tearful Words

When I try to write 'love', my pen runs dry.
It happens ev'rytime and ev'rytime I cry,
So I dip my pen into the tear
and wait for the ink to reappear.
Only then can this Colossus be fashioned
And seduce the Reader with all its Passion.
