Tears! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar

Tears!

Rating: 4.5


Tears were clogging heavily inside her heart
Though it was flooding through her eyes
She made sure
Not even a single drops of tears were shed outside
Very beautifully she hid her tears under her blooming smile.

If its raining outside
She could stand under the rain for a while
And cry out to her heart full and shed her painful tears
Who will ever know
That tears got rolled down along with the flow of rain.

Never let the tears fall in front anyone
Never let any one know of it
Your glass is filled with painful tears
Drink tears with smile in a smoky glass
So that its never visible outside.
Drink to your heart-full but with a smile
Cry a tears of rain only when you are alone.
Never let anyone know of it.

Why to go on begging asking for pity as an alms
There by making mockery of yourself in front of all.

Live with full dignity and
Embrace death with both hands when required with full dignity!

To live and die with dignity and not to beg is true everywhere but not in love, cause love is God and God is love.

Heartrending poem but the greatest that attracted my concentration is the way, our poetess expressed about tears. I love these lines more..... Tears were clogging heavily inside her heart Though it was flooding through her eyes She made sure Not even a single drops of tears were shed outside Very beautifully she hid her tears under her blooming smile. Touchy poetry A++++++

Tears have a role to play in life though some people shed them for frivolous reasons like attracting attention and sympathy etc. This undoubtedly should be discouraged. But, it is believed, that one of the major reason for the predominance of heart attack cases in men compared to woman is that men try to hide their emotions without giving it an outlet. So, it is important that we cry when the situation demands though, frankly speaking, I myself find it almost impossible to follow this piece of advise. But Madam, your poem is a quite a brilliant one with a different point of view.

WE must release our tears for they heal our heart. Be proud of our emotions. Yet it is when the rain will not stop then it is a problem. Thank You Geetha

When heart is overburdened with sorrow, somehow we have to let it out through tears, but not before others! Never go begging for pity....! I respect this attitude! Tears will definitely purge our heart.....! A moving write!
