leaves fall
under a tearless sky
the trees weep

Death!

I sometimes am

a tearless perplexing jolt,

heart stopping,

as I stomps you out.

WILTED ROSE

shade of wilted rose
bleakness fails fragile hips
wind-whispered embers
drought’s tearless petals crumble
the dike’s plugged with pricked finger

Thunder thighs
Wonder eyes
Chilly cries
Lilly lies

Broken dreams
Floating steam
Inside green
Outside mean

Holy talk
Spirit walk
Fearless squawk
Tearless tall

Shadows bleed
Ballard sing
Strangers unite
Angels flight...

Most hearts cry alone;
A sober mind, a silver cord;
Eclectic energy spawn;
Collected embraced arms;
Translucent holy dance;
Calling unto me solace glance;
Joyous heart tearless sown;

Embracing into wee hours
Within a glancing night
                              
Eternities passion
Of interim flight

Resting,a soothing refrain
A menthols touch to each

Tearless adieus
Of Wistful sighs _ _ _
Softening smiles, 
A fearless good bye,,...

She sent a fatal
dose of goodbye
minus the smile.

My lungs crawled about
in search of their next breath...
diluted, tearless emotions 
showed cracks in the corners.

Honesty can be cruel,
brutal at best. 
Imprisoned deception
was freed on good behavior.

We always said it would kill again......

The desert sand lies tearless,
Not rising into stem nor leaf,
To allow creation of some waxy flower,
Shifting, winding with the Maker’s wind,

And then

The Creator’s mind takes its nothingness,
Paints it with strength and color,
To rise and redecorate those barren places,
Casting Love even in an empty Spring....

Stripped of emotions
Maybe not,
Just having difficult time
To articulate them

Lost for words
Maybe not,
Just having a tough time
Uttering them

Tearless cries fill my eyes
Maybe not,
Just having a rough time
To excavate them 

Here I sit,
Emotionless,
Wordless and 
Tearless

The only thing, I have in abundance today, 
Is time on my own…...

You reached for a cloud
on a sunny day
with no rain on the way

with clinched fists and fear 
you feel no pain

Hearts sing in silence
grief without sound
and tearless memories
fill the empty wells
of our souls

Prayers rise up
and fall to an empty God
abandoned by the living 
and reached for by the dead.

For my dear friend who took her own life this week, one year ago....

How bright is this night of loneliness
This light thrives my helplessness
Your love is coming to kill me
Do you not know my fearlessness
My home has been burnt by myself
After seeing the fire's coldness
How much was I famous with you
Now I am going to fame less
I'm taking my last breath in the dark
And there is everywhere brightness
Imran wept me in this way that
It made my eyes tearless...

Constantly

My eyes decieve

As I retrieve

The lack of glee

Envoke the seas

As they now plea

For me to free

The animosity

Powerless sun

Endless run

Fly away from fun

Fly towards done

Waterless eyes

Tearless demize

Red stained rise

As we coinside

Souless earth

Removing birth

Loveless flirt

Deadly girth

All said now

Angels no fly

Devils retry

For the one must die...

Dimpled cheeks tearless eyes
pouting lips beguiling smile
the scent of talcum powder blue
 breath as fresh as the morning dew.

Tiny hands  open up to light
warm and soft a baby's eyes 
a single curl around  fingers  mother twirls
and wonders at this mystery untold.
  
Blessed is one who receives this gift
a child a love so tender and rich
filling  hearts with wonder and joy
of fathers and mothers___be it girl or boy...

These eyes that see with kindness
     are very rarely blind
    These eyes that show a tenderness
    are very rarely tearless
    These eyes that wear such tiredness
    are very rarely sleeping
    These eyes that rain with sadness
    are very rarely smiling
    These eyes that see with wonder
    are very rarely joyless
    These eyes that guide me through this life
    are very rarely seeing good, I only wish they could........

My heart sank into my gut
Leaving an empty, sickening feeling
My body numb from touch
And eyes left tearless
This day was by far 
And beyond any other day
The day I’d never forget
The day I forgot 
What love felt like

I couldn’t remember what it felt like
To be touched
To be held
To have hope
Not for the life of me 
Could I even reminisce
On past love

The day I’d never forget
The day I forgot 
What love felt like...

Life is so short, and it runs away!
Like a youngster, having fun at play.
But, on a cloudy day, we are all put in the ground.
Dear families,  encircle us, with sad, tearless sounds.
Age, matters  not one bit.
Live, love and do keep marvelously fit.
Nobody dreams, ah this day is my last!
Love others with a passion and fast!
Express your truths without shame.
Remember, we all do not think the same!

Spontaneous I formulated it
Knowing full well it is tangible
Little did I anticipate
That it will patronize the audience
Wow, surprise !

Such revelation it left
Keen for a portal
Transmitting the message
Navigating the sequence of events
Yeah, it came together!

The fixation of the eyes
Tearless I smiled
I pulled it off
Left them speechless
Intrigue was the word written

I walk around paralyzed, I cant feel my eyes 
deadly pain, tearless cries
without a doubt, I see not my lies 
I swear carelessly, with a inconceivable demise
I suffocate as the sun may rise
Paralyzed, painless vibes
I see not, i hear not, I hear not, I see what
I walked in, I walked out, I walked out, the door 
shut
Stuck between the clouds and the golden sun, 
epitomizing the sky
Knowing 1 day that I would die
I, had a cold soul, without a tear to cry...

Nothing Lasts Forever

Weathered clapboards count death’s cadence
bleached bones of faded lives
rusted bells hang limply – silenced
mourning beneath long tearless skies
sad emptiness when longing dies.

Once, bells pealed, come hither
bright sunshine kissed love’s tower
none felt the doubtful shiver
one heart condemned to cower
blood stained - within the bower.

my heart is thin 
I can't let you in 
fractures and slices 
from the pain of love's vices 
dulled to the feelings 
and the taste of what life is 
when a mutual eye 
says give hello a try 
I just start at the end 
and start with good bye 
to be fearless 
and tearless 
would be traits 
i'd hold dearest 
but sorrow and doubt 
are the things I have nearest 
of all joy i'm bereft 
empty and loveless 
the shell I have left 
my contents looted 
no risk of theft...

My inner cry weeps,
tearless confusion.
My feeling of love;
is heartless illusions.
Mind over matter
has abandoned conclusions.
I am afraid
I have no solutions.
For every tear
there is a stain.
Can I ever get it
to go away?
Too many stains have 
ruined my heart,
I feel so different as if
playing a part.
Does anyone
know
who I really am?
A bothersome woman
with nothing to give.
I feel my time
reaching an end,
when I come back
It'll start all over again....

Lost yet found,silent yet loud, 
blind yet with site,alone yet within a crowd. 
Together yet broken, awake yet asleep, 
falling yet standing,on top yet below so deep. 
Invisable yet seen,happy yet sad, 
frowning yet laughing, sane yet mad. 
Painful yet pleasuable,living yet dieing, 
sick yet well,tearless yet crying. 
Distant yet close, feeling yet numb, 
sufficating yet breething,smart yet dumb. 
Win yet loose, give yet take, 
everythings real-yet everythings fake....

My heart's hinged door forcefully burst
But the instant coffee I owned was decaf!
My eyes died, parched of thurst,
My tearless decision was just to laugh.

These beatings last forever,
But I find your love is pain.
Drag me up the stairs; together...
Black eyed me, bruised with you again.

Hobbling always, resilient is me.
Keeping each beat with heartfelt rapidity.
Time never winds down, failing to free me.
So blowing blood out my nose~ I'm endless stupidity!

Take a step back
What just happened?
My body is about to crack
Is this something I imagined?

We can't escape the fear
We can't run away
We stay right here
To show them who stays

When they know you to the ground
Get back up and erupt
Show them who rules the town
And tell'em what's up

Stand up tall
But you might not be the tower
Don't be afraid to fall
Because you've got the power

Look them in the eye
And show you're fearless
They might cry
But we're tearless...
