Smiles And Tears Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Smiles And Tears

Rating: 5.0


Sometimes he smiled but sometimes his laughter!
Sometimes with tears but sometimes in his broken heart!
In all his deeds I see an art.
Exposing his joy in a naughty laughter
or concealing his pains in false smiles.
Man is a great artist!
I saw a shine in his slipping tears
slowly moving on his cheeks,
where two ends of his smiling lips,
open as the doors to welcome a friend
that always helped to relieve the pains.
When all is over and the tears have done their job
I see the angles of his lips are now changed
Isn't it a different smile?
Thanks dear tears you relieved him of his pains
and gifted a true smile
he is soothed and relieved.
I never thought smile and tears both are true friends
works of art by the nature!

The true nature of man...in fact the whole creation functioning by the pull of two opposite forces...there isn't life without day and night, or a positive and a negative...so too are the smiles and tears...deep, thoughtful work Akhtar

Tears are cathartic! They wash away our sorrows! So like our smiles, tears also are our true friends! This poem presents a great philosophical and psychological truth!
