Its so often that i cry & don't know why
tears well up in the eyes
& before I can hold
just slide down & I don't know why.
They came when came
birth cry of my first born,
they came when I was very alone
and then too, witnessed
my confusions & chaos.
At times pillows soaked
or boxes of tissue gone,
and sometimes
they just came, streaming down
like a happy brook
or summer rain,
but they come
without fail.
My tears, always there
and they will be
till the end
maybe the Tear Ocean
flows right behind
my hazel eyes,
and my lashes, in empathy
open the gates
when I cry.
Ever heard of that Tear Ocean?
I don't know, really not
why I cry.
