Chemistry Of Tears Poem by Khairul Ahsan

Chemistry Of Tears

Rating: 4.9


Nitric Acid dissolves iron
And many more hard metals.
A woman's tears dissolve
Men's strong iron minds.

A man hardly sheds tears,
But when he does, quietly,
His tears can only wet a pillow,
And not even the softest mind.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
A woman's tears are very powerful. What a thousand words may not achieve, a drop or two of her tears can. My personal feelings, though.

This one really packs a punch! I finished and couldn't help but say, woah. And what a creative analogy to show the difference between how men and women express sadness and how it's perceived!

The power of feminine tears to melt the masculine iron is here excellently expressed my friend.

It is a baseless assumption! A woman's tears are something frequent.... so it won't get much attention! But a man rarely shed tears...... So it will never go unnoticed. Perhaps a man may hide his tears with a pillow as he doesn't like to be regarded as weak. A simple sweet poem! Thanks Khairul for your comments on my poem... Eagle on Wings!
