Tears
Here come the tears
running on well-worn paths upon my face
pooling under my chin
and free falling on puddles on my shirt
All the sadness of the past few months
released in great big howls
like a beast cursing at the moon
Sadness overcomes me
and the tears won’t stop
cleansing my soul
and tearing my heart
How much more can I bear…
as I drive the landscape blurs
and I fight to see the road
I call on your angels to keep me safe
and keep my heart from breaking
Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
