Tears of Love

Baffled eye, wet

in tears,

shying away from

the ocean that holds

them and the past

Dripping on

lovers’ lips,

locked, wet, under

the rain of tears

Not to part,

clenched in the

soft, slippery sweetness

of love; love yes,

Stronger when relived

again and yet again

nurturing another

farewell and then

a unison;

Sweet colors of love,

rains of pain

kissing the oceans

flooding with pleasure

relived forever,

painful forever!
