I want to write
Write, write and write
About best of the creation
The creator's creation
 
It is nothing, nothing but the
Beautiful and sparkling tear drop
The tear drop that rolls and rolls
From the corner of eyes, down and down
 
I was born with tears
So were you
I die with tears
So will you
 
They are with me every time
The different facets of tears
Tears of joy, tears of sorrow
Companion for the full and empty mind
 
The tear and the rain
Wash out the dirt
The rain clears the soiled earth
The tear clears the soiled mind
 
After the rain the sky brightens up
After the tears the face brightens up
The smiling face shines
Like the dew drops of the early mist
 
Unlucky is the one
The one who cannot cry
They cant tidy their mind
Alas! Their heart is clogged
 
Tears make the most beautiful eyes
They can melt the hardest heart
Dont restrain your tears
They hit back as the mountain waters
 
When the mother sees her new born
Her eyes are filled with tears
The tears of the deepest joy
Oh! its the purest of all
 
When you are dead
Tears roll on others' eyes
The howling and crying
The tears that show - you were loved
 
Oh! Tears come to me
You are the best of my friends
Compassionate and caring
Always with me as a support
 
I want to play with you
I want to taste your sweet sourness
I want to drown in you
Oh! You are the best of all.

    This is a beautiful poetry with
    greater truth and reality behind
    it. Neema, keep on writing such
    great pieces of poetry.

    "the rain clears the soiled earth
    the tear clears the soild mind".

    "The Lord is near to those who have
    a broken heart, and saves such as
    have a contrite spirit" Psalms 34:18 (Bible).

    Those people with a broken heart and contrite spirit will shed
    tears naturally, and God is always
    very near to them.

    In this world, many people think that those who shed tears are
    weak-minded people. May be so, but
    the too strong-minded people are
    missing greater joy and relaxation
    in life.

    Another great person said " tears
    are telescopes through which we
    see the heavenly places".

    Good one, Keep writing.
    ( When you write a thoughful poem, people may not write comments, don't gauge the popularity by number of comments, for average reader like me its easy to know that I have liked the poem but it's difficult to explain, why I liked.)

    You are blessed with rare poetic sense, wish you all the best in your writing efforts.
