Poetry: Tears

by Vivian Edwards

Moisture dropping upon my cheeks
My soul releasing
Clear droplets like the morning dew
Glistening on an aspen tree

Tears are moisture
From deep inside
Warm and gentle
Falling from my eyes

Moisture dropping upon my cheeks
Releasing from deep inside
Moist and clear
Dripping down
Releasing all
So quiet no sound

Tears of acid
At times there are
Burning as they drop upon
Memories of yesteryear
Flaming out of my eyes
Searing in a cloudy haze
Smoldering as they land upon
Saddness straight from my souls song

Tears are from the deep inside
Places in which I hide
So quite no sound
As they continue dropping down
