Her Tears



Bruised, injured, handicapped are her signature
Sadness, emptiness accompany her to bed each night
Closed her to awake in the fairy of her mystery
She build a wall of defence around herself
But lay crushed in her palace
In her closet of gold, is a crushed gem
Instead of a love shaped ornament
The future is bright but she find herself running away like the guilty one
She refuse to let in because she is scared of opening her tears
She refuse to let go be cause she is scared of bleeding from her tears
But how long will she let you tear her tears?
Your back to her face is her caterpillar
Your smile to her is her pillar
Fear of the unknown is  her anthem
But you lay in the blossom of your comfort insensitive to the atmosphere she's in
She is letting go gradually but you recognized it not
She is a basket of bitterness yet still you do a refilling of more bitterness
She reaches out to you, you busy the connection
No one to turn to but her tears
Finally, Her Tears has become her companion.

Poetry: Who We Are

WHO WE ARE [Nuesa] Welcome to the world of Engineering Where we take a ride Putting aside our pride With no hard feelings inside Even though the field is wide We try not to hide The rules we abide Pulling through wild tides   That's who we are!

Hear me out my dear brethrens Never forget their names They're the ones with the brains And through out all their days They barely have time to play For fear they may led astray Don't judge if they keep away Blame us not for choosing these ways   That's who we are! But wait, who are we really? We're humans just like you Wedded to our career we say 'i do' though our chances are few And we're sta

Poetry: Whispers In The Night

WHISPERS IN THE NIGHT I called him my world for he brought me joy He promised me love, he promised me gold His words I trusted until the truth unfold Those days of laughter are long forgotten For a mother to be i've now begotten My hearts remains pained, I wonder what he gained I still remember clearly how he held me dearly Then with lust in his eyes he made me cry He overpowered me and had his way, it all happened in the early hours of the day So I say trust who you know, but you don't know a soul except the one you own For the pains you caused, you shall forever be cursed You made my mornings to turn into mournings I'll soon be a mother, these thoughts makes me want to murder A father you'll never be and from your heart laughter shall cease As long as you live, you shall yearn for peace ©Happiness Henry, 2019
