Swallowing Tears.
When love is liquified it simply drains away in tears
Swallowing tears.
"One of life's Most
bitter of liquids pressed
even in the tiniest of increments.
Her eyes held
a sharp glance
that could chew up
the center of
your dreams
when she was
angry with you
and a smile that would
set even distant
Pluto to blazing
in the warmth
of her gaze.
Each time
love filled her grin
she offered a lovely
pair of petulant lips
dewy and begging
to be kissed.
I was enraptured
longing to teach
her pupils bliss
When passion flared
it was like a soft
open, mouthed sigh
transforming into
a heavenly chorus of two.
and so we shared
many incredible
views and the tastes
love together..
But then....
Her eyes
closed one day,
over a tight
lipped frown
tears dripping
from sealed lashes
