Tear drops 💦

Salted water released
like an elastic band
loose my ribs cage
finally allowin' air in.

Roll down cheeks
turn at the jaw
trace down the neck
caress my armor.

When all else is pain
this human reflex
revives the senses
makes me feel again.

Let slide, wash away
like soul rain
brighten the grey
bring back sun-rays.

Oh, please let it begin.
What I wouldn't give,
in this moment I'm in,
for my dry eyes to spill.

Published "Morning"

A poem by yours truly was accepted in Havik Anthology - Las Positas College.
The title is "Morning" and it describes the thrill of a mother's waking up.
I hope you get a chance to read it and enjoy.

If I am taken before, know!

If I leave this earth
robed of the chance
to ease doubtful soul
of the grace you meant.
Stubbornly deaf
to my long rhymes,
uncertain of the truth
within my mood tides.

I try yet once
it is worthy sense
in these humble lines
that you disregard.

I lived no regret
nor dismay of step
and collect no dept
thus leave quite set.
I awaited this day
sweat releasing fay
not meeting halfway
but greeting its say.

I try once more
it is worth for sure
in these honest lines
that you inspired.

Know, when troubled
I found always peace,
your embrace shielded
from out and within.
Not once did you fail
to cast light to my gloom.
Never leveled by feat
to another in the room.

I try once again
it is worth to mend
in these plain lines
that you'll require.

You were an anchor
to this simple bliss
that has been breath
while breath-taking.
You were ever more
than I could sigh for.
You were ever there
whenever I could care.

I try once anew
it is worth, so true,
in these easy lines
that you deserve.

If I part content,
in swift a blink
or in pain extent,
and trust me, I do.
The size of heart
dreams and the path,
are then owing to you
and the seeds we grew.
