Vertical

years brimmed with men

their feats litter the years

lovers made me cry, life

not whole without tears

 

sprinkles of teardrop joy

tears of pleasure or woe

better than bland smiles,

tears with no place to go

 

tears springing universal

weeping tourists glisten

covering a million miles

for a man that will listen

 

each tear a badge of love

a validation of my feeling

emotion that evaporates

heart's affections sealing

 

some might fall sideways

or, being furtive, seeped,

afraid to see dry daylight

behind curtains peeped

 

shed tears to remember

choking back salt rivers

sobbing at critical words

wet eyes for sex givers

 

soaked my handkerchief

memoirs of tears cherish

wept vapour survives as

sapless loves do perish
