Poe-A-Tree Hop...LOST

Hey another Poe-A-Tree Hop!

Well here we are going again, just hopping all over the world.  As you may know the last hop we were looking at the rainbows. Saw some mighty pretty ones two.  But to have a rainbow you need a little rain. So this time, get you a box of Kleenex or a supply of crying towels cause were going to have a down pour of tears causing poem and tear jerking story for you to read. As you dry your eyes please leave a sympathy note in the comments. There a list of blogs that is participating in this hop below the poem and or story.  Have fun and cry your eyes out you will feel better. It’s good for you, Mikey like it.  




LOST



A lone tear trailed,
His sad eyes
Cried silently...
A long journey
A lonely path
Of love falling apart
As it made its way
Down his tormented face…
I stood watching
Blinded by my own
My heart heaving
As cascades of
Pearly, weeping tears
Stung my face
He was a man…
Giving into crying
Something alien
But that grey day
His cracked heart
Triumphed…
A sparkling gem
Precious and invaluable
Escaped its prison
And trickled down
Containing in its
Crystal bubble
Volumes of pain,
Sadness and loss.
I look back now
And wish I had
Saved that gem
Stopped its course
Midway…
Captured it in a bottle
A priceless pearl…
Crystallized in time forever
But I floundered
In my grief,
As the tiny drop
Splashed on his
Heavy chest
Lost forever…
One last look
At his otherwise
Stoic face
Now rife with
Unspoken emotions,
I walked away
Sacrificing love
At the altar of tears.

    M Real men do cry :) I have cried many times for loss of a loved one, loss of one I thought I loved,a sad movie ( Brian's Song would still make me cry) and from being very happy on my wedding day!!
    As always well written

    Beautiful touching words from a talented writer!! Real men do cry as I've stated many times before and if a tear is a priceless pearl then I'm very wealthy. Love how the woman watched this unfold from afar and was deeply moved. Love your view on tears, keep up the good work!!!

    Very beautiful soul sis. I wish I had saved that last tear. It's something so rare and sacred... it shows man's vulnerability and real, deep emotions. Each tear that I read was unique and I love them all... a man's tear is precious...

    Another beautiful Poem Rimly...yes, men do cry. The man in my life cries at sad movies, when he looses a loved one, when he is sad. I like the direction you took the subject in..thoughful and caring for the "Tears" of men, who are raised sometimes to surpress these feelings, yet you allowed this image to flow freely, reminding us that strong Men are not afraid to show their " Tears"....Always..

    Off poem, but like Jim said - Brain Song can cause a drought. As for your poem, the range of emotions in both sexes (could be same) is visceral. You evoked the core of a moment (the moment) between two people when, rarely, there are no walls, only two people, bare before one another. Sniff sniff...

    Yet again you surpass yourself. Emotions are an amazing thing. When we release them it can refresh us and rekindle us. So many men try to hold those tears in, believing it is not a manly thing to do. But every man has things that mean alot to them, that touch their heart and soul, and if they need to shed a tear, do so, nobody will think any less of them.

    So true Larry. Every man is human and have every right to break down if they have to. That doesn't make them less of a man
