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
I am about to go thru
Is agonizing
Causing small cracks
In the middle of my eye
Releasing the tear
One at a time
Until the crack gets bigger
spreading all over my face
Piercing my heart
With each heartbeat
Pain getting deeper
Making a hole in my soul
Passing the rope
Through that hole
Making a knot
Around my neck
To leave me hanging
With that tagger
Piercing my heart
Dripping blood
Mixed with my tears
Falling on the ground
causing panic
In every dirt particle
