Torrents Of Tears Poem by John Sensele

Torrents of tears tremble
When flushed face, jumbled jingles
Cry in vain, try to resemble
A sense of succor sampled by singles and their mundane mingles.

Torrents of tears terrorise and traumatise
Peace of mind long lost
In a relationship and a marriage that satirise and pulverise
Hopes and ideals surrendered to a guy ghost without a toast.

Torrents of tears tease a disappointment disease
That lubricates and lacerates vows verbalized in public
To signify comfort, contract and keys
To long term love, lucidity and more than a wedding tunic.

Torrents of tears trouble tempers
That on edge fly overboard
To fan resentment embers in hampers
That smack of an adventure that's gone stone cold, too young to be so old and odd.
