A Poem On Obsequies To A Tear
I with utmost care
Place this tear
On the funeral pyre
Don't look down
Upon a tear shed
Don't you see
Its heart still throbbing?
Its eyes beyond your grasp?
The tear still pulsating
And its breath filling the lungs?
It has many tales to recount
Connecting you to me
And us to him, her and them
Come, pay you respects
Before the pyre is lit
Before another tear is shed
And placed on the pyre.

Don't Shed A Tear
Cab fare to nowhere is what you are
A white line to an exit sign is what you are
Oh but I saw in you, now I see through
Don't shed a tear for me, my life won't end without you
Long as the night will be, the sun will rise without you
A locked door on a candy store is what you are
A slim chance in tight pants is what you are
All that I loved you for, I want it more
Don't shed a tear for me, my life won't end without you
Long as the night will be, the sun will rise without you
You are giving what I'm not taking
I'm not missing what we ain't making
Oh but I saw in you, now I see through
Don't shed a tear for me, my life won't end without you
Long as the night will be, the sun will rise without you
Don't shed a tear for me, my life won't end without you
Long as the night will be, the sun will rise without you
Don't shed no tears,
I don't need a thing

A Silent Tear
the voice inside me
is crying out for help
i am trying to reach them
but no one seems to care
sadness, loneliness, and helplessness
oozing from every part
yet they don't see i am hurt
i look around for a sign
a sign of interest, and sympathy
light, and hope
but darkness seems to over power everything
why does everything have to said
why can't they see the tears shed
insanity taking over
suffocation heightening
and all i can do
is shed a tear
that one cannot hear or see
a tear of silence
a silent tear.........

My Queen
Give me the honor
Of holding your hands my Queen!
Let not your feet touch the ground,
For I shall carry you on my back.
Shed not a tear from your precious eyes!
For every dropp of tear
You shed are bullets straight to my heart!
Be forever my beloved Queen.
Trust your fragile heart to none but me.
For its fortress I will be!
Let Your love be mine forever!
Resting peacefully in my heart's safe.
Shed your smile to brighten my day.
Let your every breath drift me away.
Let me take your hand my beloved Queen,
And let me be your beloved King!

I'll See You Everyday
There's not a day that passes
when I don't shed a tear for you.
A tear for the happy memories
and a tear for the sad ones too.
I try to hold back the tears
when I see the smile on your beautiful face,
but then I see the pain you suffered,
and a tear is no disgrace.
It seems like only yesterday
that I kissed you and said goodbye,
but I see you everyday of my life,
and it still makes me cry.
The time of parting isn't the end,
and it won't be until I've passed away,
but until that separation finally comes,
I'll see you everyday.

Why You've Fear When I'm Here?
Why you've fear,
When I'm here?
Why shed a tear,
I'm not clear?
You're every year,
Grown up in fear,
That brings you tear,
When you aren't clear.
Show always a cheer,
In place of a tear,
That will, my dear,
Drive away your fear.
If still you've fear,
When I'm near,
You turn deaf ear,
To my words, dear.
I'm now clear,
That you've no fear,
Nor let a tear,
Down below your ear.

The Lord of Stripes
In my dreams
I take the paws
Of a lonely tiger
And together we dance
My love, I’ll find you
Ablaze in a funeral pyre
We swim together
The tiger and I
Through cities
Made of emerald
My love, I’ll find you
Ablaze in a funeral pyre
Lions watch jealously
As the king of the jungle
Is passed over
For the lord of the dance
My love, I’ll wait for you
Ablaze in a funeral pyre.

Tear Drops Of Joy
Tear dropp of joy when a baby is bron
Tear dropp of joy when your mother and father tell you that they love you
Tear dropp of joy when my boyfriend bring me a dozen of roses
Tear dropp of joy when I see two people holding hands
Tear drops of joy when all the family come over for a sunday dinner
and I stand back and watch everyone enjoy every one
A Tear come down with joy.....

Every Tear
I lost my true love today
It was a bittersweet moment,
But mostly bitter
As i am crying i want you to know that every tear
I shed was for you
These tears are shed because
i love you and now i'm losing you
Every tear that i shed you will be in my thoughts
As i am crying i want you to know that i love you
Always have and always will

Petals
Shes the angel on top of the tree
Sugarheart, here she comes
Shes going to fall on me
Innocence was our fire
We told the truth
I miss the sweet boys
In the summer of their youth
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
They will make you so
So cynical
The fire burns, the flesh destorys
The past that made us old
Shes the grace of this world
Shes too pure
For the likes of this world
This world is a whore
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
I wait till mine and
Hey, its all mine
Hey, its all mine
Never knew what I could be
All the darling buds of may
They fall with no sound
They carry you down
They carry you down
Ooooooooo, ooooooh
Ooooooooo
All the lillies bloomed and blossomed
Wilted and theyre shivering
I cant stop their withering,
Oh, this world is a war
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you
Tear the petals off of you
Make you tell the truth
Tear the petals off of you

Shed A Tear
Youve been talking in your sleep again.
About the way youve been pulling my heart strings
When I think Im on my feet again,
I fall down,
Oh I fall down
At forty seven park avenue
Loud is the singing down in the bar room
So lonely
I wish I was in paradise
The broken lover in me, girl
Has been fixed in my memory
Lay your love, lay your love on me
I lost a little love this way
I find it in my heart to say, yeah
Im gonna shed a tear for you today
For love, love I gave away
I gave away
Youve been making those eyes again
Down in the city and up in your ivory tower
One day soon youre gonna reach out and call my name
Yeah, the broken lover in me girl
Has been fixed in my memory
Lay your love, lay your love on me
I lost a little love this way
I find it in my heart to say, yeah
Im gonna shed a tear for you today
For love I gave away
I lost a little love this way
I find it in my heart to say, yeah
Im gonna shed a tear for you today
For love, love I gave away
Oh, I gave away
Oh, I gave away
Loves got me down on my knees again
Theres no easy, no easy way out
Theres no easy way out
I lost a little love this way
I find it in my heart to say, yeah
Im gonna shed a tear for you today
For love I gave away,
I lost a little love this way
I find it in my heart to say, oh baby
Im gonna shed a tear for you today
For love I gave away
I gave away
I gave away
I gave away

Tear It Up
I got a black top road out in front of me
And I might just tear it up
I gotta rock'n'roll jones pumpin' in deep
Just might tear it up
Gimme a bar room floor a back beat band
Play the kinda music I can understand
Sweet sixteen take me by the hand just might tear it up.
Tear it up hey I just might tear it up
Tear it up Tear it up
Ya know I just might tear it up
I got a ticket from a cop on the way over here
Just might tear it up
I got the repossession notice for my car right here
Just might tear it up
Oh one of these nights I ain't lyin'
If the moon is right and I feel like flyin'
Sweet sixteen take me down the line just might tear it up
Chorus:
The way you rock and roll me you make it look so easy
And when you're out on the floor baby
You make it look so easy
Hey you really touch my soul baby
You make it You make it
Tear it up
The way you rock and roll me you make it look so easy
And when you're out on the floor baby
You make it You make it You make it
We got the rock'n'roll band pumpin' tear it up
We got the kids in the gym jumpin' tear it up
We got the chaperones hip hoppin' tear it up
We got sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen take me by the hand Tear it up
Sweet sixteen take me by the hand Tear it up
Sweet sixteen take me by the hand Tear it up

The Crucified Tear 1
A little boy once shed a Tear
He hid it in his fist with fear
Of mockery, and of the world
He returned to his bed and curled
As he still held on to it tight
He remained as such through the night
And with the morning light, he woke
He sat up to find Fate has spoke
His dear Tear to be arrested
A sentence not just suggested
Fate had not jested, but it's just
Thus he had naught but put down trust
How not after what he was shown?
The Tear was crucified that dawn...

Big Boys Dont Cry
Whoever said that
Big boys dont cry
You say you never
Shed a tear
Well, listen
Thats a lie
Were all
Defenseless
When it comes to pain
I said boys and girls
Alike
Yeah,
Were all the same
Its my party
Ill cry if I want to
Big boys dont cry
As if nothing
Seems to matter
Big boys dont cry
Then why do i
Big boys dont cry
Because nothing
In this world
Ever matters
Big boys dont cry
Hey, Im not ashamed
To say a tear
Is in my eye
Because another tear
Will take its place
Before I die

The Longest Ten Minutes Of My Life
i sit in the silence and watch the clouds race by
the awkwardness fills the car.
we all know what's going on
and we all know what has passed.
i am alone with my thoughts,
the scariest place to me.
not trusting myself i shed a tear
and the car fills with sorrow.
all these problems healed
with a tear of another.

Faery Songs
I.
Shed no tear! oh, shed no tear!
The flower will bloom another year.
Weep no more! oh, weep no more!
Young buds sleep in the root's white core.
Dry your eyes! oh, dry your eyes!
For I was taught in Paradise
To ease my breast of melodies,--
Shed no tear.
Overhead! look overhead!
'Mong the blossoms white and red--
Look up, look up! I flutter now
On this fresh pomegranate bough.
See me! 'tis this silvery bill
Ever cures the good man's ill.
Shed no tear! oh, shed no tear!
The flower will bloom another year.
Adieu, adieu -- I fly -- adieu!
I vanish in the heaven’s blue,--
Adieu, adieu!
II.
Ah! woe is me! poor silver-wing!
That I must chant thy lady's dirge,
And death to this fair haunt of spring,
Of melody, and streams of flowery verge,--
Poor silver-wing! ah! woe is me!
That I must see
These blossoms snow upon thy lady's pall!
Go, pretty page! and in her ear
Whisper that the hour is near!
Softly tell her not to fear
Such calm favonian burial!
Go, pretty page! and soothly tell,--
The blossoms hang by a melting spell,
And fall they must, ere a star wink thrice
Upon her closed eyes,
That now in vain are weeping their last tears,
At sweet life leaving, and these arbours green,--
Rich dowry from the Spirit of the Spheres,
Alas! poor Queen!

In remembrance of a friend…
Another anniversary, birthday or just a day
celebrated with an empty chair
And a silent tear shed
For those no longer there
Be they brother, lover or just a friend
Their memory lives on with every story told
And every tear dropp shed
So dry your tears and hold your head with pride
Even though the hurt you feel so deep inside
My never end, It will soften with time
And the comfort of a friend

My Last Tear
I won't cry.
I won't beg.
I won't ask why.
I don't know why I should.
You're not worth it;
Not worth such pain.
I've shed my last tear.
Nothing will fall from these eyes,
The grief you caused me.
I have shed my last tear,
For you.
You're not worth it.
You're not worth my grief.
You're not good for me.
These are my last tears
And remember,
You're the one that said,
Good-Bye...

Heaven
Heaven
Is the whole of the heart
And heaven
Dont tear you apart
Yeah heaven
Is the whole of the heart
And heaven
Dont tear you apart
Theres too many kings wanna tear you down
And a world at the window gone underground
Theres a hole in the sky where the sun dont shine
And a clock on the wall and it counts my time
And heaven
Is the whole of the heart
And heaven
Dont tear you apart
Yeah heaven is the whole of the heart
And heaven
Dont tear you apart
Theres a song on the air with a love-you-line
And a face in a glass and it looks like mine
And Im standing on ice when I say that I dont hear planes
And I scream at the fools wanna jump my train
And heaven
Is the whole of the heart
And heaven
Dont tear you apart
Yeah heaven
Is the whole of the heart
And heaven
Dont tear you apart
Yeah heaven
And heaven yeah heaven
