Description:




"A Song Of Tears"



A solitary teardrop
fell from her lovely chin
and its melancholy journey
was about to just begin.

Though one would scarcely notice
the wetness on her skin
it would soon be followed by others
as if they were brethren.

Shattered hopes and dreams
had started them to fall
a lie and broken trust
was the cause behind it all.

Her tears fell to the river
which coursed into the sea
an ocean filled with tears
from untold misery.

Her sobbing could be heard
far and wide throughout the land
a song of tears that were cruelly made
by the thoughtlessness of man.

  This is lovely, how you beautifull woven these words into a tearful song :) Reminds me of a song "Cry Me a River"

My Fave lines-

A solitary teardrop
fell from her lovely chin
and its melancholy journey
was about to just begin.

an ocean filled with tears
from untold misery.

a song of tears that were cruelly made
by the thoughtlessness of man.

And it is very sad how people can be so cruel to the point that their create teardrops of pain that falls from their vicitim's saddened eyes.

Nicely penned my friend!

  To think all the salt in the seas came from tears would be so depressing. Tears can be a cleansing agent for a soul in pain. Very beautiful RON.

  Wow! I love the old school rhythm. It really goes well with the picture. :) I like these rhymes most:

Her tears fell to the river
which coursed into the sea
an ocean filled with tears
from untold misery.

Good writing Sir!

I just started posting again. Any feedback on my work would be highly appreciated...
