Tears Are Words The Heart Cannot Say (Contest)

by LJ Roodt

My bleeding heart, the fountain of lover's true art
words escape through tears burning so sincere
Calculating emotions multiplying with true devotion
bound by tears of words, which the heart alone endures

Words of silence around my lover's heart
with tears performing a musical art
Count each tear and feel what I feel
for my heart is crying out, for you my dear

So many emotions in so many ways
sometimes it's difficult to show what my heart contains
With words through tears I show my love so clear
as my heart erupts, distinguishing how I feel

A lover's heart captures words it cannot say
through tears it shows a realm, unexplained.
