The Cosmos of Blissful Love Is Expressed Through Tears

Poem on tears and love

Image by myeongae lim from Pixabay

I was the one who would cry at the drop of a hat This made me the butt of the joke, when I swore never to cry again

My family thinks I am the strongest one I handle everything smoothly Regardless of the situation

But I cry, I weep If not in front of anybody but I welcome my every tear

Sometimes of sadness and grief often out of empathy, Many times in gratitude and love

Love plays the chords of heart Gently stimulating the tear ducts To express love’s depth

With my master, I sit with a bundle of napkins To clear my choky nosy secretions when tears flood nonstop

The heart swells in gratitude Love flow through the eyes Peace and bliss encapsulate where time flies

Tears of love and thankfulness burst Whenever I see my partner The bliss of togetherness, a smile radiating through the alkaline waterfall

The salty lake trickles its secretion When it feels the pain and agony of the other Love flows and heals the other by its mere presence

The universe speaks through love But love speaks through tears Where spoken words fail to express Tears fill the unsaid gap

Tears are not a sign of weakness They exhibit what the heart can never reveal Don't feel ashamed, they are your super-power Bestowed only upon few.
