When I saw a Woman Cry

September 25, 2012 | Filed under: Poems | Posted by:

Drop by drop
as the tears flow down
from the side of her cheeks
onto her gown
I feel myself
caught up in a trance
and my heart,
it does a wild dance
‘coz nor could it
nor could my mind
try to fit
the reason behind
those bright blue eyes being
once soft and light
is now so cold,
so damp, so white.

She won’t speak
but her eyes tell much.
She’s not weak
but not strong as such.
But when she looks
towards me, over here,
the sorrow from her face,
it radiates in the air
and a strange fear;
it seizes over me
the burning pain
is now shared with me.

And though she looks away
her sobs inaudible
her face still shines
like gold in rubble.
All these things
like times, they fly
but damn those moments,
they stay like the sky
to make me feel the way I felt

When I saw…
A woman cry.
