The Standard Of Tears

Why question my loyalty
When in all my tears,
There you found my royalty
Making all things clear

Why put me through every test
So as to be sure
I would stand above the rest
In my tears once more

The measure in a man's tears
Crest at his silence
The depths from a heart that dares
It's significance

The weight in watery eyes
The clamor therein
Emotions nuts for life's ties  
Grief's storm centering

How long is the body bowed
Who knows its groaning
Trembling from tears in bent
Whispering frowning

Tear's quality walks away
To season all calms
For love will demand no pay
Nor seek open palms

In the tears of sweet support
Find me still ready
There let my only report
Be true, and steady

...no one can be as gifted as you are without tears...no woman can offer passion both in practice and patients without life's watery embers...just my deep shallow thought concerning you...i could have simply said thank you and be done...but the ........................................................................were the unspoken tokens that wanted to brake the banks of my silence to say this and that...and when the little came out...it still fails me...the short of it all is ...i adore your firm grip on poetry...and easing over to nudge me...is awesome coming from you...I can go in and on when it come to nardine...and on and on...cause she is cool like that...and still I have said nothing close to what i have to say and will allow silence to have its place...all good of course...but me being an emotional kinda guy...i suck it in and tip toe away...

...ok?

be cool...I got ya back...nj

How long is the body bowed
Who knows its groaning
Trembling from tears in bent
Whispering frowning

I only say what I mean and mean all I say...some people touch me deeply others not so much...and I listen to people with my heart...and see from its vantage point...so If i have offended you...please forgive me...I only wanted to say thank you ...nate jones style...nj

Great write, My applause, My love, My vote

How long is the body bowed

Who knows its groaning

Trembling from tears in bent

Whispering frowning

Tear's quality walks away

To season all calms

For love will demand no pay

Nor seek open palms
