Palm of Tears
As surely as time has pass
My tears become yours
Place them in your right hand
Tell me when the salt starts to burn
those are the tears that hurt
Don't forget when your hands clap together
Rather it is to pray
or Beg
or in approval of what's said
Insecure is the cause of most tears
Tears of laughter taste sweet
They are the heart screaming in approval of what the eyes finally can see
but insecure is something leaving a place it fits perfectly in
It can sometimes lead to a bigger place
only when the truth has hit it a chemical is released
it makes complexity out of chaos
like whispering, I love you into water
then let the temperature drop
the water will not forget the love
instead, the ice will make something new out of it.
snowflakes that change with every drop
When your tears are not for me I know
I won't say a word
I'll let them flow
because when snow falls no one can measure the amount just the height
so ground up
the inches stake
like bundles on the females you love
but when the sun hits and the water drains
the ocean has it all
one direction or many
up and down and in and out
the waves say way more than the mouth
I learn that when I wanted to drop out
the ocean had much more to say like
it's okay I
a big big world and everyone is just trying to find their place
Stop hating the power of your brain and it's okay not to want to be smart every day.
Do not catch your own tears
Put them with my waters
Put them on your paper
They will be there later.
The salt will tell the ink
The truth
Your truth
Know that it is only true to you
Know others can disagree with you
but truth molds itself around a welcoming view
That is a view within a view
and my dear you are allowed to be where the view suits you
Ladybug what a day
Do you remember the day?
You picked a shoulder to kiss and say something I could not hear
I finally understand you
Luck is not green
You kept saying luck is not green
That is only material things
Your pages bleached
But it was once a tan tree
Pages what a friend you are to me
When men judged me.
When women dismissed me
When children could only see my chin
When the sky didn't sing for me
Pages how you have folded and let me scrape my temporary into you
I'm sorry if any of them have hurt you.
My only true friend
Listener
and repeater
Today is the day I can show how I appreciate you.
