Teary advice

A dropp of tear
Rolled down my cheek,
Grumbled all the way down
Landing on my frown.
No fingers to wipe them,
No tissue to dab them,
It rolled and dropped
On the floor, cold and
Dry, it was not happy anymore!
It thought about its home
Warm and safe in the glands
'Why do you cry? ' it asked me
'I am sad today' said I
'Have pity on me' said the tear
'And keep me in your pretty eye.'
'Please' it begged,
'Be happy for my sake,
'I aint meant to be dropped
Down in sadness, close your
Eyes and try to see, all
You have lost is
Your smile and me! '

My pearls When you weave With your rubies And emeralds Diamonds and topaz Leave for me Some lapis lazuli Nay the tears That flow on your cheek Once broken From the heart In the ocean of eyes Tears are pearls Diamonds and stone Precious and rare Break me not For the tears you shed My love I know In the existence dear Tears are friends My memories tomorrow Tears today Tears of separation We weave in sequels

Biologically speaking, a tear is meant to protect the eye, keeping it rolling and devoid of harmful substances. But we have grown to associate tears with sadness and – seldom – extreme happiness; at times neglecting that lack of tears could lead to blindness. Hence we say someone is blind when they don’t CRY for something considered invaluable. The title of the poem is a conundrum to what the poem really is about. Personally, I thought I would be reading about an advice from somebody crying. I say we should heed this advice for this simple reason. What if that tear you shed is actually your last drop…? ? ? Great personification displayed. Oh, by the way, your name is anagrammatic: Reshma; Ramesh
