TRIP TO HISTORICAL BATH POEM 8

Sometimes you are so sad you cry. There is an absence of something and the tears overflow to fill it. This is a moment that is both sweet and bitter, for you feel the loss. Does it feel better to cry? Sometimes, because, as they say, it gets it out.

“But a mermaid has no tears, and therefore she suffers so much more.” Hans Christian Andersen

Tears

Although my tears flow softly,

A line of salted sadness on my cheek,

Do not worry your heart too much,

For it is only because we part.

In the light of your love,

Nothing feels wrong,

But the darkness is all the more,

Black for comparison.

Without your smile,

One hundred days feels as one,

For there is nothing to move,

The shadow so as to know the day.

It is not possible to judge,

By the sand in a timer,

For it does not flow,

As it ought.

“I am fated to journey hand in hand with my strange heroes and to survey the surging immensity of life, to survey it through the laughter that all can see and through the tears unseen and unknown by anyone.” Nikolai Gogol
