Hidden Tears

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clandestinely, she hid her tears

Where they would not be found
The next time that the loneliness
Came sniveling around.
She tucked them in the garden beds.
She tossed them in the sea.
She stuffed them in the mossy nest
Out in the old fig tree.
She put them places that she knew
She never would recall,
For if she found them once again
She knew she’d cry them all.
You see, she had no time for tears
With all she had to face,
And so she hid them all away,
Each in a secret place.

Drowning in the Shadows

Sometimes shadows cling to my heart

And seem to weigh me down.
The whole world weighs upon my mind
Until I fear I’ll drown,
But, as I feel the undertow
Drag me into the night,
I look up and I see your face...
And I reach for your light.

Love You, Sweet Pea

Oh little sweet pea, I love you,

You color my whole world;
You fill my beds with joyful blooms,
Fragrant and unfurled.

I've Got My Eyes On You

I noticed you were watching me
As I was watching you.
I’m not sure what I think of that
Or what I ought to do,
But one thing’s certain in this world,
And I’ll swear that it’s true,
I will be staying on my toes
And keep my eyes on you!!!

Tears of Loss and Joy

Surrounded by much younger blooms,

She wept for her lost youth.
The petals dropping from her eyes
Proof of the bitter truth.

Though, as each petal slipped away

And she watched lost dreams die,
Still many more dreams would live on
In the young blooms near by.

Thus she was not ashamed to weep

Her tears of loss and joy,
And ever was her face upturned,
Her last days to enjoy.
