What to do with tears

Catch them in a cup
a brittle receptacle
porcelain that dissolves with lie
shatters with greed’s immemorial caress;
hold them in a palm
life to the new sun
and rays that bend and fall away;
pool them on soils
fertilized by first love’s
soft footprints;
scatter them upon miseries and joys
from yesterday and tomorrow;
it matters not,
as long as tears,
water the dryness of absences,
all of them
lost, laid waste
erased from map and memory.

  1. I got the tears
    to my palm
    and read the poem
    as sweet as I can...
    whispering lines
    of the broken heart
    open her voice
    as sweet as she can.....
    can you read the
    other few lines
    ‘handling the way
    the drops am I holding '
