    Tears

    My tears are cheap, there are so many.
    As common as a dirty penny. 

    It matters not what path I choose,
    Fight to the death, I still will lose.

    Extend a hand to pull it back.
    Love me for ten, then completely retract.

    My tears are cheap and of no worth.
    They salt this dismal, slow moving earth.

    I cry today, I cry tomorrow.
    If you could, give me a smile to borrow...

    For I don't know why I fly and fall...
    Perhaps I wasn't meant to fly at all.

    I love this poem because not only at times I can relate, but the honesty in the words. Flying is a state of mind. In your mind you can soar above the clouds and that's exactly what you did in this poem. Great write......E

    "I cry today, I cry tomorrow. If you could, give me a smile to borrow..."—I have more than enough smiles, you may borrow one anytime. A revealing write. Peace and light, dah

    *grin* See? You lent me one already. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
