Falsetto Tears
~ ~
as
each
d r o p
d e s c e n d s
every note resonates;
crying reverbs in falsetto.
ECHOES... on. ...echoes..on
echoes resound from the bottom
of mankind‘s well. tine’s of wind‘s
tuning fork shatter the glass &
the heavens join in with
the chorus.
~
~
clouds blanket all
to spill from sky’s flask,
a deluge upon
every forest
~
once onyx souls,
awash in the flood, now shimmer
with wings of peace. storms cleansed
the sorrow of bitter and hate, leaving
chaos adrift on the breeze. slumber
is sweet under pigments of blue,
iridescent hues arc above
earth. every well, over-
flowing. tears, singing
joy; happy hearts,
crying only
of mirth.

Cheer Up, Charlie
It hurt, but I could see in his eyes.
He wanted to forgive and forget,
Running back with open arms,
Bright eyes, and that naivete
That ended up with him crying
On my lap in the first place.
Don't do it, was my first thought,
Looking at those teary brown eyes
And him biting his lips as he sobbed
That he thought they were friends
And asking why they hurt him.
I've been hurt before, many times,
Always trying to be strong for him
And watching him learn is painful
But I know I didn't learn at first
Until they did something unforgivable.
My arms around him as he sobs,
I ponder what I will do when he sniffles,
Gets up, and tries to go back again.
Will I let him go to watch him fall,
Or stop him and shelter him forever?
