Eternal tears

By Malcolm Lim

Earlier, I felt your skin,

smooth, light, and uncrinkled.

While unboxing the spouting joy,

I could always see,

Your eternal tears.

As I did so, I visualised

The clear night sky on the lesser gibbous,

Turned upside-down by the tumultuous storm with streaks

Of chill and tinges of flashes.

And how I wish I could understand,

But perhaps I already have,

Your eternal tears.

The wrongdoings blessed with the hindsight

Of torrents of time,

Puncturing, paralyzing, pressuring. And they

Probably led the grave grieve,

As I feel and touch,

Your eternal tears.

Maybe it has been long.

Maybe the storm has ceased.

Maybe everything I and you know

Has changed since we forgave you for time and rest.

But then again life is like a net,

And I will have always,

Your eternal tears.

Whenever the clock starts a new day,

And let free the melodies ring.

Through rivers of sorrow,

Through the raging inferno,

Through blood, skin, and bones,

I will always endear,

Your eternal tears.

This was written by my friend Malcolm for a school project...

Nothing belongs to me blah blah blah :)
