Let eyes drift away to sleep
Don’t stop, let them weep
Drop all the dews floating deep
Into painfully anxious eyes
To let go of the stream
Gushing through the curves
Of all the anxiety and soreness
The river must flow
Destined to merge into the deep oceans
So will the unsettled tears will flow
Through the body’s insides
Gushing through ups and downs
To finally merge with time
When it will slow down
And will then settle rested
Tears not wept
If always they are kept
Hidden behind closed doors
The heart will bleed
The life will come to a halt
As you will be holding back all the hurt
The world and life has given to you
Dwelling on your past
Only to ruin the present
So, worry not
Go shed all your tears
For you must
But mind you, you need to
Shed them all here
All at once
To let it all out
Then, don’t turn back, move on
Move ahead in life
Live your life to the fullest
Because that’s our destination set
By none other than the untainted soul above
If you don’t believe it
Problem is not mine, it’s yours
If you don’t want to, don’t
But I want to live to the fullest
But, may you realize
We have one life
So, Love to Live to the Fullest

When the Truth is Spawned
In an odd sort of way, tears brings a deeper mark in ur hearts and joy can goes as deep as the wound...
pain is a great friend and teacher and the beautiful mystery of it withstands the prying eyes of the faint-hearted. The are few greater strengths than that of being totally open and vulnerable to the growth of sorrow. But we are alive to know joy and that's where it all leads.

Beautiful and classy.
Maybe we have numerous lives that we must live to attain 'Nirvana.' Maybe this life is one of many? Your piece though is so beautifully written. And you do take us on a journey with this work. I love the imagery as well.

Thanks Wayne
I don't know what is nirvana, but sure want to achieve, I think it's only possible if we live through all joys wrapped with pain, only to realize, life is not all flowers
it comes with thorns..we must pick. Thanks a lot for rerading my poem. I appreciate your thoughful comment and applauds, it's an encouragement that makes a poet strong.

Let eyes drift away to sleep

Drop all the dews floating deep
Into painfully anxious eyes

Thanks My Friend
Thanks again for your WOW and it was more of an attempt to convince myself, I'm a normal human being who does this same...dwell in the past...often ruing what's in my present...we all do it at one or the other point in our life...important is to remember and pull yourself back... So this what I'm trying to achieve. Thanks for great comment and encouragement as usual.

Awesome write.
I love this poem. To often people get lost in the past and forget to live their lives in the present....I must admit I am one of those people.
I love the lines..
"Tears not wept
If always they are kept
Hidden behind closed doors
The heart will bleed
The life will come to a halt
As you will be holding back all the hurt
The world and life has given to you
Dwelling on your past
Only to ruin the present"
Please keep up the good writes.

this writing is beautiful...so true that we have but one trip on this journey called life...though it's not one that should be rushed...it should be taken to the limit...Precious...showing concern for another's life is also special...for life's sweeter if its shared and the journey's not so hard...without my friends in my younger days...I wouldn't be here today...beautifully written...smile..David
