Have you ever seen a tear smiling ?

or a smile with tears in its eyes ?

Have you ever seen a Joy with ache in its heart

Or heart filled with Joy

Have you ever seen pain in ecstatic dance

Or ecstasy rising from the pits of despair ?

meaningless words

or silence full of messages

life wasted

or life lived in a single moment

?

Have Some Mercy

It approaches
With the thumping
Of its Tenacious feet
My heart terrified
More like mummified
The pain
agonizing
cracks appearing
In the middle of my eye
Releasing the tears
One at a time

shattering my being
Piercing the heart
Making a hole in my soul
knot
Around my neck
leave me hanging
With that tagger
stuck in my heart
Dripping blood
Mixed with my tears
Falling on the ground
causing panic
In every dirt particle
