"Destined Minds"

I CRY

your tiny hand in mine as you entered this world
you were joy to me and I could not help but cry
when you deceived me so I wept so agreived
at the thoughtlessness of your lie

the quiet sobs of weeping
the salted shadows that falls from windows pain
and there always will be one, shedding crocodile tears
when in life something you seek to gain

or Job's tears that adorns the ladies neck
tear shaped beads that enclose the seeded kernel
and a single tear drop the heart it so can fracture
while love at ends time is wiped away eternal

so I stood under heavens roof
as dew drops melted with the rain
while I cry from my soul the ache of hurt
and I cry life's song from which I cannot refrain
