Tears. Poems

Tears of Venezuela

America enters not as shepherd,
but as wolf cloaked in justice.

You called Chávez tyrant,
you brand Maduro a trafficker—
yet your own markets drink the poison
you pretend to purge.

O America, double-tongued master of shadows,
you strike ships in waters that belong to none,
and proclaim yourself the law.

But power without restraint breeds fear,
and fear sharpens the knives of the forgotten.

The

COSMIC BLINKING 

Moving,
Blinking the moon,
Bold shaped clouds
Drifting by:-
Likewise,
A flock of geese
Silhouette the sky;
Their flapping wings,
Waving goodbye:
My blinking eyes,
Release goodbye 
Mirroring tears
Of keloid memories
Of you and me
As a shooting star
Departed the sky:-

Premium MemberNo Sadness Or Tears

You said you wanted out 
Of this marriage we are in 
You were packing your things 
And I’d never see you again 

I grabbed a beer and watched
As I sat in my reclining chair 
It did bother me you were leaving 
The truth is I no longer care

With all your arms could carry 
You loaded

Tears of a Dragon

In realms of antiquity, where myth and legend reign,
A dragon's lament echoes, a sorrowful refrain.
The tears of the dragon, a deluge of old,
Falling like celestial fire, stories untold.

With scales of obsidian, eyes of burning gold,
The dragon soars through eons, its spirit untold.
It weeps for the ages, for the wars that have been,
For the hearts that

Premium MemberTears of the Dragon Collab with Ink Empress

Within the creeping shadows,
do you think you can find me?
Before chaos implodes my soul ~
I’m lost amongst childhood
memories, pounded to ash and dust,
clouding my sight,
as silence stifles my screams.

Whilst rivulets of water collect
around cracked soles,
cold liquid rushes
with each word left unsaid,
rising as foreboding
talons scrape against the ballast
stones of despair.
Spiritual hunger gnaws at my insides,
pain filling

FLOWING BEAUTIFUL SAD TEARS OF JOY

In keloid memories of supreme love,
Tears of grief and joy flow together,
Reflecting beauty even in death:-

So, be not proud, ole death;
Present tears of your grief,
Now stream as one
With tears of
Treasured
Moments
Of joy:-

Hey, only the body dies;
The spirit lives onwards:
In onderful oneness
Of keloid memories:-

TEARS WON'T CALL THEM BACK

It is done
a soul has slipped away
no return, no familiar face
only stories to keep them near.

Tears may fall into rivers
but they will not call them back.
Sleepless nights unravel sorrow
yet the silence still remains.

So let your heart rest awhile
let it bend without breaking
so one day it may learn again
to love, to live, to carry on.

Premium MemberA Ring of Tears

He smiles, places the ring on her finger.
She smiles, but then she bows her head.
Cuz she knows that sometimes, love won't linger.
But with time, she'll know if love is dead.

He swears that, that last time, was the last time.
But any promise, can still be broken.
And for her, no more church bells will chime.
Only scars on

Of greatest fears sunset with hard tears
For a young lass too soon to pass
Sweet without guile her fresh sweet smile,
Make no mistake, saw holy dawn break.

Premium MemberTears of the Dragon

For as long as I can remember
I've kept everything buried inside
For as long as I can recall
I stood on the edge, ready to fall

In the silence of foreboding shadows
I crawled on hands and knees
I searched for a reason to breathe,
ready to tumble like Autumn leaves

But Winter passed and then came Spring
Trying to find the right

Ten Years Of Tears-TSF

Ten years
Of joy
You gave,
Before
Death’s bell
Was struck
So fast.

Ten years
Since then,
Your love
Still blooms,
Yet I
Remain
Downcast.

Daddy,
I miss
Your laugh,
Your love,
And all
The care
You showed.

If tears
Could wake
The dead,
My God
Would grant
Prayers
I sowed.
