Tears Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by Jane Arwa, Kenya Mar 4, 2009
Media   Poetry

  

If my tears were like a river

I'd have loved to shed as much as i can

To cry about nothing; everything

But my glands are deprived

all's that left is my hearts' tears.





Who would care to wipe my tears

And far carry my fears

Who'll make me feel dear

And make my worries all clear.





I thirst for a quench

Yet all leave me on the bench

Of my own I'm to fend

And my emotions defend

Still tears won't come my way

And more torments appear each day.





If my tears were like gushing blood

from a wounded flesh

It would be far better than this pain

How can I learn to shed tears

Tears that are welled up in my heart?

How do I learn to let them flow

to make peace in me overflow?

A child crying is like a thorn pressing against my heart,
A good book gives me new reasons to live,
A nice movie gives me hope for tomorrow
And a peaceful day tells me all will be well...

Each day, action, thought- they all give me reasons to write.
