At the Grave
all souls day
at the cemetery
eyes are asterisks
to love stories
teary eyes
are those who
have just lost a love one
mica eyes are
those who have learned to
submit to divine law
wishing prayers would
mend ways
time heals
the next time around
the teary eyed would be back
with mica eyes sniffing pain behind
new teary eyes
those at the fresh boundary
between this world and next
a boundary they could only
but mark with teary eyes

Teary Ink
Making something is easy,
But it also depends on it,
Just motivate yourself,
Everything will be fine.
You can make a poem,
You can make a song,
You can make a world,
A world that suits you.
Just put a teary ink,
On everything you write,
On everything you discover,
Just put a teary ink.
Teary ink means will,
Will means to success,
success means your done.
Done on your goal,
That you can die anytime,
Cause it completes you

Disney Lies
Cinderella; Snow White
A Faery Princess too
How is it possible?
What did you do?
Your love is so simple
Your love is so true
All you want is him
And all he wants is you
Life isn't like this
There is no easy love
It's all sitting on the front steps
Praying to the stars above
Because it was he that left you
Crying in the cold
Your pretty face a mask of pain
Watching ''love'' unfold
Days will turn to months and years
You'll think of love you had
Time will change your views of things
You'll ask, ''Was it really bad? ''
In the light you'll rationalize
But in the night you dream
Waking up with teary eyes
As you're stifling a scream
Someday he'll come back to you
And ask you for your hand
But true love has left you long ago
Like castles turn to sand
You will look into his eyes
And love is what you'll see
But there is no mirror image
And the word ''no'' sets you free

An old florist still in his bachelor status
'You are almost forgotten to collect us sir,
I see the shinning town and I too like to give my rare fragrance to poor souls,
Anyway this is not a complaint but a kind request.' A wild flower begs in teary eyes.

That Rose And I
Though a lone rose in yonder bed
Blooms all alone in remoteness
Its regal grace reaches beyond
Its small cultivated confines.
Its blood-red petals capture
Sensuous eyes of passerby's;
Thoughts of love materialize
And some are stricken teary-eyed
By measured memories of love.
Then there are those aesthetic hearts
Who are dazzled by its beauty.
As for me, I assume that rose:
The empathy I have for it
I become its flowery soul.
Though a lone rose in yonder bed
Blooms all alone in remoteness
Its regal grace reaches beyond
Its small cultivated confines.
Its blood-red petals capture
Sensuous eyes of passerby's;
Thoughts of love materialize
And some are stricken teary-eyed
By measured memories of love.
Then there are those aesthetic hearts
Who are dazzled by its beauty.
As for me, I assume that rose:
The empathy I have for it
I become its flowery soul.

Forgotten But Not Gone
Weather wise a sunny bright warm day,
In fields farm hands working fresh hay.
Totally all blue was the cloudless skies,
But cloudy and raining were my eyes.
Greyhound bus leaving for Tallahassee,
On board the one truly wonderful lassie.
Back to my car teary eyed I wandered,
As to my immediate future I pondered.
In the prime of my life, brought fears,
Drafted; going overseas for two years.
In the cold hearted war, called to fight.
Would I be wounded; my life take flight.
Would I be blessed, able to return home,
Would it be I’d be forgotten while gone.
Never once thinking of losing a friend,
That our relationship would soon end.
Although hers for me would be past,
My true love to her will eternally last.
It’s said time is the healer of all pain,
My hope is we will be together again.

Remedy Of Grief
The best remedy
of grief my dear
is to be brave
And try to cheer
And leave aside
All trouble and pain
And try your best
To get to the fain
For grief is like
A flower in gloom
That is considered
As life's perfume
So don't feel bad
or ever sigh
Just keep on trying
And wipe teary eyes.

Duel
She stops
Looks back
Her eyes sparkle with mischief
Happiness holds her words afloat
Piercing my heart’s very core.
She doesn’t stop
This mirth and revelry
Her eyes are weary.
Teary, she hides it all
Behind her pearly whites
I breathe the very air
She just exhaled, her shadows
Fight to overpower mine
She looks like me and yet
It isn’t a reflection of me.
My fight is a lost cause
This attempt to corrupt her soul
Be a fiend, be a rogue
Lash out and hurt this world
A devil in your heart, please sow
Sometimes she acknowledges
Her goodness does hurt her more
And when alone, she humors me
Raves and rants at world and mourn,
Alas she leaves me at morn.
I am her and she is me.
And she wins every duel we compete
I shall conquer all, chip by chip
Break her down, replace hate where
Love now grows.
I am her and she is me

My Wolf
A loner,
A animal friend,
And a predator,
When the nights are dark you run through the forest,
Your fur blends in with the snow falling on the ground,
Even as your golden eyes gleam in the dim moonlight,
A howl of loneliness echoes in the night,
Leading me to your side…
I join you and stand by your side,
For a moment you remind me of someone,
But the vision fades and all that’s left is a young girl standing next to you with silver eyes and a teary face…

Everytime I Close My Eyes
Do you remember,
The time we used to spend,
Doing what, we used to do back then,
But the only thing,
Thats different now,
You wont admit your love,
Thats if you love me again.
Every time I close my eyes,
The visions reappear,
And when I wake up youre not there.
Could you fall in love with me again?
Cause all I see is you,
Every time I close my eyes.
When you look at me,
I wish that you were mine once again,
Cause now I love you,
More than I did then.
And im hoping.
That we can mend it all back,
Cause when were together,
The spark is there and the flame comes
Back.
Chorus
Should I say this to you,
And just let it go,
Tell you what I feel,
And just let it show,
No matter how hard
That I think this through,
My feelings are the same,
Im in love with you.
Chorus
Cause all I see is you,
Every time I close my eyes,
Every time I close my eyes,
Every time I close my eyes.

The real eyes
there are so many
ways to look at the world
as many ways
as there are eyes
just ask the bulky
eyed whirring cicada?
the slit eyed hawk eagle?
the moon eyed owl?
there are as many
ways to see the world
as there are invisible eyes
the old man you see
in your reccuring dream
the images that refuse
to leave the mind
even one goes blind
the eyes you dont see
through which you see
the eyes that scan a
million world for you
to see just one world

Hitch-hike
The dumb lass, she sang a song at least of the journey from her teary eyes before the vagabond stepped out.
Hitherto he couldn't get a lift as all are going somewhere else and not along the heaven road.
Accidentally a historian stopped and picked him up for the way back towards Babylon where she still sings alone.
The following character haunts me these days;
*Francis Phelan in William Kennedy's novel 'Ironweed', Ex-ballplayer, part-time gravedigger, full-time drunk, has hit bottom.

Write About The Desert Rain
the lonely man walks
on the sands of the desert
one evening and whistles
to the dying sun
and then as the moon
comes out
from where the sun
just left
he stands still
and looks for the missing stars
the desert rain
has come and his eyes
are teary
and blurred.

Temporary
Disaster strikes and you ask why?
Maybe fall to your knees with a soul-shaking cry
Maybe, just maybe you want to lay down and die
Give away your life's breath with one last sigh
But listen, be still
There is no need to invite death's dark chill
For great power exists in your spiritual Will
Softly, the spirit of Love entreats thee
In the midst of the pain don't be weary
This moment temporary, though your eyes may be teary
Hold fast
It won't last
This too shall pass....

Eyes of Death
I looked into your eyes
Your Eyes of Death
I killed for those eyes to look into mine
Into my eyes of pain and guilt
I dared to walk into your path
I dared to take your hand into mine
And I dared to tell you my darkest secret
I stared into your Eyes of Death
And I lost my soul to them
When I looked into your Eyes of Death.
To this day, I am still dead
To this day, I can no longer live in the mortal world
To this day, we shall not die of fire, water, or love,
But of our Eyes of Death that rein our souls
I stare into your Eyes of Death and I cringe at the sight
I look into your Eyes of Death and I am no longer alive
I looked into your Eyes of Death
And I died again, before I could run from them
For I cannot stand to be around you to this very day again
I looked into your eyes
Your Eyes…of Death

Dinosaur lOVE
the dinosaur's eyes
big as my ears
we look into each other
and wonder how our love
for each other can be
is it the same size?
one so big and one so small
teary eyed, is he like me -
bogged down by love too?
how heavy can love grow to be?
does it haunch the back? take up
gramme, pound and ounce
break the weighing machine?
the dinosaur squeals and the
depth of its love reverberates
through the lakes, valleys, hills and the clouds
grammes, pounds or ounces
they are for the daily groceries
love is for grander things
like baby dinosaurs running
back to its folds, a baby monkey
reclining on mother's bossom
it can only be measured in depth
calibrated with your care and
concern for everything that i do
and balanced by the weight
of a pair of starcrossed hearts

The Air Is Tense, The Air Is Dense
It was a silent evening, this silent
evening,
When a land whose air was tense,
Heard the cries of its children,
As a plane whose air was dense,
Hit the ground and broke its wings.
It was a teary morning, this teary
morning,
When friends had lost friends,
And parents, children,
And children, parents,
And all, something.
It is a painful thing, this painful moment,
If while reading this out loud,
Your voice begins to fade,
As your heart carries pain to your chord.
It is a thin line, oh thin children,
We are here and we are 'is',
And in one step,
We are there, and now 'was'.
It is a marvelment, to my marveled
mind,
When a man wakes and brushes his
teeth,
Holds a bag and hits the streets,
Stands in the middle of an oblivious
crowd,
And offers them transportation to the
world beyond.
It is an ache, in an aching heart,
With fingers weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red,
I write that peace and love be born,
And wisdom and hope not be put to bed.
In this age, in an aging world,
Live each day as thy last,
And in no time you will be right,
Hurt no more and hurt no one,
For the air is tense and the air is dense,
And though time like man has come and
gone,
Time will be here and man no more.

Thru His Eyes
thru his eyes i see the light
thru his eyes i feel his might
thru his eyes we feel his love
coming from the lord above
thru his eyes i can see
the life that was meant to be.
full of joy and ecstacy
i open up my heart and mind
just to see his love divine.
thru his eyes i see the world the way that it should be
the trees, the sky, the ocean blue
these were given to me and you
he shows us the love thats in our hearts.
don't let bitterness tear us apart.
when things don't seem to go your way
this is when we tend to stray.
thru his eyes i know i can
give my neighbor a helping hand.
thru his eyes everything is clear
thru his eyes i have no fear.

I Will
I will
Lay me down
In a bunker
Underground
I won't let this happen to my children
Meet the real world coming out of your shell
With white elephants
Sitting ducks
I will
rise up
Little babies eyes eyes eyes eyes
Little babies eyes eyes eyes eyes
Little babies eyes eyes eyes eyes
Little babies eyes eyes eyes

Troubles
How many troubles
have come your way?
Do those troubles have you say?
'Oh, not another one,
Why me Lord'
It's just not fair.
They've cut my silver cord.
Does your head get weary?
Do your eyes get teary?
Then you've just kept pace
with the human race.
'Cause no one escapes
troubles for long.
They come to the weak.
They come to the strong.
So don't ever feel
like you're all alone.
Some are worse off
Trouble's all they've ever known.
Sickness, poverty
and loss of love
are the troubles we meet
on our trip to heaven above.
