River Of Tears (poem)
The river of tears
The river of tears
The product of years
Of hope and of fears
-
Strange feelings it rears
From life’s painful spears
And unknown frontiers
Confusion appears
-
It wasn’t always so
Those moments long ago
When lovers chose to know
A river’s gentle flow
-
But time disappears
Through rapids it veers
Past perils it steers
What’s left when it clears
-
It wasn’t always so
Then kisses put on show
And future seemed aglow
On river’s wistful throw
-
Reality nears
Through harshness and jeers
Deceit and its peers
What hope interferes
-
Yet love preservers
Our vessel coheres
On river of tears
On river of tears
