    Bloody Tears
    I sat and gazed at the sky
    Painted in cerulean blue
    And wondered what it's like
    To be so powerful

    So strong
    So inviting

    I continued to sit in silence
    And my eyes nearly closed

    A drop of moisture
    Splashed on my face

    Intensely it burned

    Drawing my attention
    Back to the heavenly canvass
    I saw just moments ago

    The once blue sky
    Was now an abject portrait
    Of pessimistic grays
    And lackluster blacks

    I wiped at my face
    To dry the moisture
    And cool the burn

    And my fingers dripped red

    The downpour progressed

    Steady drops of blood
    Covered my face,
    Filled my eyes,
    And caressed my soul

    Frantically I wiped at my face
    Trying to remove the drops

    Before they stained
    Before they hurt

    I rose to my feet
    Only to find
    They were hidden

    Hidden beneath a bloody pool
    Of heaven's tears

    My life
    was slipping away
    My life
    was not my own

    The pouring rain
    sweet agony

    The pouring rain
    Bitter distress

    I tried to call out
    Between the drops

    I tried to ask forgiveness
    But my voice

    Was not my own

    My soul had been contaminated
    With disbelief

    My lips had been diseased
    With Satan's evil words

    And God,

    Continued to cry

    Totally awesome verbal visions - blood crimson tears that stain... I was left burning with concern and wanting to call out between the falling drops. Once again your expression is exceptional in many tantalizing ways. 10
