Mirror Tears

My eyes don’t drip of red lusting rose tips-
Crossing the gardens of thorns,
Each weeping lover left to mourn.

My eyes don’t flood of clover green life buds-
Swallowing the everglades and forests around,
Crossing each path, eyes on the ground.

My eyes don’t bathe in the white glinting faith-
Converting the blessing around the world,
To the sins of the underworld.

My eyes don’t bleach in sunspotted yellow beach-
Adventure in the soothing sea,
Or the humming joys of a humble bee.

My eyes don’t soak in the alluring purple smoke-
Of majesty and mystery of before ,
From the voices left and called for.

My eyes don’t drown in the simmering orange of abandoned towns-
Lingering places and lives so familiar,
With people passing, hands a shiver.

My eyes don't sleep in the black of existential deep-
Questions and rallies left unbalanced,
Rest of the hopes, silenced.

My eyes don’t squander in the blue blanket yonders-
Where sky and sea and sheets become one,
Your smile, my only sun.

My eyes do cry in the mirrors of sighs-
The busting of all these colors insanity,
Residing in the eyes of humanity.


Without

Without sadness, where is joy?
Without scars, where is beauty?
Without beginnings, where are ends?
Without enemies, where are true friends?
No death in which to compare life
No eyes in which to feel
No ears in which to taste
Without sin where would there be forgiveness?
Truth without lies
Is the stars without a sky
