Blog Poetry Slam 53: Tears

I’m going through a hard  period in my life,  writing and sharing has been  my sanity.  Even with the writing and sharing there have still been a lot of tears.    But sometimes you can’t see them coming down your eyes, so you gotta make the poem cry.  Word to Jay-Z.  So make your poems cry in the comments.  Write a poem, short or long, serious or silly, even a haiku.  We can all cry together…

lately life has let me me down

but please don’t tell me not to cry

how else are these thoughts

going to escape…

i figure:

the quickest route from here to sanity

is through my tear ducts

so the pain can white water raft out my soul

on waterfalls emptying on cheeks…

  1. With us, everything is clear. There’s an open line of trust–straight up
    You’d rather test foreign fields you can’t seem to please
    Trying to figure out ways to shape up her slanted truths–isoceles
    But honestly, pride won’t let these salty droplets fall vertically
    Don’t dial me dying because you believe she’s lying–horizontally
    I won’t cry for you because you DID choose
    And now your heart has to do all the circling
