About The Tears

tears from your eyes
and if i be poetic enough
to calm you and
lessen your pain
i shall tell you that
tears are pearls
and that your sob
is a song of a
woman of beauty
but you cut me short
and touch my lips
with your hands
and you tell me with
the truth of your silence
you are mourning
and my poems are
not of help.
