They flow like a waterfall
in sadness and happiness alike
you may win you may lose
crying for the latter seldom makes news
While they are salty and sudden
eyes get red and swollen
relieving you a heavy burden
This is the often-used practice by women
maybe for a minute maybe an hour
maybe in your house or in a bar
you maybe low or high
thinking about the same later on makes you sigh
tears are seldom liars
and they seldom have buyers
attracting attention around you
just like the deadly bird-flu
makes your eyes healthy they say
replace apple to tears I say
hale and healthy you stay
glisterine is the latest path to stray
Later on you ask – did I
Let the water fry
my self and the cheek that now is dry?
Like somebody who is as nice as a pie
No more is your eye the sky
No more shall you cry
Please don’t ask why
Even if you did, don’t you cry
As you deserve to die

A very good read with a wonderful rhythm to it. The short versus made this piece move along quite quickly. Not sure what it is suppose to be about, but your write was easy to read and never missed a beat. Perhaps you can explain it to me further. Well done.

I love the flow of this piece! It is a great write. Until I got to the end and then it threw me off. Overall a great piece though. Thanks for the entry
