Tears finally came down my eyes
so I had to make a poem cry
Tears finally came down my eyes
so I had to make a poem cry
A poem I write to reveal the cause of these tears
These tears that sipped out of the corners of my eyes
these tears that rolled down my cheeks,
my cheeks could hold no more.
As I got up to reminisce on the last time I dropped a tear
More and more tears rolled out
Why though do I shed this tear?
Why does my mind have to roll back the years?
One, two, three and the count continues.....
Why do I have to think of what the future would hold at that very moment?
Then it dawned on me- She made me cry!!!
Yes, you read right-She made me cry!!!
To look into her eyes and see her so genuine
So convinced that I was the one for her
I could not help but dole out the tears
realizing that I am no more who I am known to be
to become the one she wants to have
With sweat masking my skin
and her sweat pores unraveled.
We made love the way Romeo and Juliet did
we took our time, and time bide us well
With the gaze from her eyes,
fixated on mine,
my hands sure glued to her skin,
sweat had no way to differ.
I could care less about anything in the world
Like the world was just not more than a pinch of salt
We caressed and touched, not only to feel the warmth of our skins
but to send a message to our souls,
blow our minds apart and you can think no more
I had envisioned a more romantic setting,
with ambiance like in chick flicks.
candle lights beaming through the room
the wind blowing gently across the space that confined us
Love ballads playing slowly
lifting our soul and causing me to want to make a poem cry
Tears finally came down my eyes
so I had to make a poem cry
Tears finally came down my eyes
so I had to make a poem cry
These tears have made me realize I need to pay the sacrifice for love
and get ready to enjoy the roller coaster it brings with it
Forgive me for the lack of my poetic ingenuity
but I write these words under the discretion of the beats of my heart
If I have been unconvinced and scared of saying," I love you"
now I say I love you
I love you for all you are
Love you for the moments we share
I cherish and adore your femininity.
I want to hold you close, dance with you under the rain
Lets get wet like in romantic movies
Lets lay on the road at midnight
Lets sweat under the sun,make love till time permits us
Lets cry when we get emotional
Tears that finally came down my eyes
so I had to make a poem cry
Tears finally came down my eyes
so I had to make a poem cry
