Short Tearstained Poems

Between love’s first glance and passion’s kiss,
Words fill the void, the space.
Impatient note transferred in class;
a clumsy, tearstained sonnet wrote
when ‘I love you’ seemed not enough;
the witnessed promises we made;
then whispered amatory kept.
The indescribable described....

As I sit alone
in the empty field
With only my dreams 
A mountain outstretches
it arms to hug me
Its lips, to gently kiss
my tearstained cheek
Birds hum sad, sad songs
Of loves lost in time
Bring forth all the memories
I've tried hard to push
from my mind
Beauty surrounds me
Encircles me in a loving
touch
But still, all I wish for
Is you
It is always the same
You here with me
You to end my pain....

Broken by your formidable face,
In apathy one can only remain.
My love has been extirpated,
While you are just intoxicated.

So take a look at what's left,
This tearstained girl left out to dry..
Her blood runs cold,while
Last nights sins are washed away in a whisper.

This melody is set for repeat,
No more can this anguish prolong.
She's dying alone tonight,
A grim grave awaits this dispirited damsel....

Kiss

Lips can be deceitful
Whether they whisper in your ear 
Or trace your cheek
When lips pressed tight 
Together
Come back bloody
Or worse, cold
When salty tears
That are not your own fall on your cheek
When a kiss can say everything
Or nothing at all
A thousand kisses can never be enough
I’ll take your bloody kisses
And tearstained cheek
Don’t say anything love,
Lips can be deceitful,
But they can’t lie....

I'm not your tearstained dishrag. 
Will you end your suicide note with a hashtag? 
Just lock me in the metaphysical gulag. 
The real world's too much a drag 
for a fag. 

I am not digestible. 
I am a hunk of pyrite lodged in the 
jejunum of bureaucracy. 

I am a precious and coveted 
artifact hidden at the bottom 
of a recycling bin, underneath 
empty milk gallon bottles. 
Their pungent swill is a grimy 
filter for my blind beauty....

I've given out my happiness,
Never given a reason to,
from those who are prodigies,
yet they still sole are blue.

Some days are evil,
Dressed in black and grey,
Taking out the anger,
On those who have rotten away.

No longer can I stand for this,
A world so destructive,
So little smiles to forget,
We are so unproductive.

We sit with our tearstained faces,
The color all washed away,
our sadness never leaves us,
All we can do is delay....

Memories come and memories go
Always we get caught up in what they do
Mostly the good for the bad we ignore
But we glorify it all forget the core
Simply put our memories run havoc
Making our tearstained eyes like rock
Depressed we feel after thinking at times
And happy we get at each old dime
Alas we miss our very present sunshine
Looking back upon the longlost vines
Advice I give to you each in good humour
Look into the present don't forsake the future!...

I slept with your vision
in dreams last night,
'till glaring incision
of realities daylight
pierced my lonely eyes.

I awoke with a cold
sweat on my brow,
my pillow I hold
and wish that somehow
its' softness was you.

My temperatures' rising
of vain hopeful wish,
thru long days fantasizing
for the grace of your kiss
O could 'ere dreams come true!

Now the night it comes falling
on my lonely head,
once again I go crawling
to my tearstained bed
and the pillow of you....

I add up all my tears 
And subtract these from my joys 
Then i calculate my fears 
And divide my broken toys 

My pain equals infinity 
And my smiles are single digits 
These numbers, they mean nothing to me 
So what is the deal with it?

For you to understand me 
Just follow this equation 
Myself subtract my family 
It's me against the nation 

Add up all your hopes and dreams 
And multiply with kisses 
Minus all your tearstained screams 
And that equals my hits and misses...
