Forgotten tears

  T he pain that surrounds us do not spare our beloved ones, As we share the same burden and ecstacy together. This fosters  the 'why' that makes our affection lingers.

Share in this sensation with the poet as he embarks on the journey of pain together .   The ocean has saturated our land; Carcass of precious sewage inviting Offspring of alphabeta to trade with us  In the annual feast of the eye's flood. Here we are, lords of swollen lashes. Kissing the blended sail of craving pant For decaying ages that shone our nodes Before our first withdrawal was made Click to read  caged  Together we sang duet of scorn From our distance crest In union cries that pierces the skin Sweating myster
