As Tears Fall Poem by Leonard Dabydeen

As Tears Fall

Rating: 5.0


As tears fall
upon dehydrated cheeks
making their own free rivulets
without interference
from plastered hope
my bony fingers
are bruised from combing
rubbles and bricks and stones
I am searching for one little
pulsating moment
to ricochet from the crumbled
silence beneath my weary feet
I cannot feel the dryness
of my throat
my thirst is empty
with unremitting faith
only to become quenched
when I touch you again
as tears fall.

So this is how you cry, the process of crying. This Crying thing is usually felt but defining the miniscule moment in a heart rendering way...you did it nicely....we feel it you wrote it. keep writing
