If I could sculpt myself a tear
I’d make it audible
Allowing even the deaf to hear
***
If I could sculpt myself a tear
I’d paint it purple
Signifying royalty
And make all the blue disappear
***
If I could sculpt myself a tear
I’d relinquish loneliness
And mix this liquid with a prayer
***
If I could sculpt myself a tear
I’d give it an automatic reset
So that it would never be in need of repair
***
If I could sculpt myself a tear
I would never create it
Cold
And salty
Like
This wicked world
Indeed a powerful poem!

Thank you (:
Thank you for the acknowledgement, it means more than you know 💛
I wonder, can you taste my tears?
With your fingers, feel my fears?
Can you touch me in your head?
Do you smell me in your bed?
Can you see me through the mist?
Vague memories of when we kissed
I’m with you. You can hear my call
And yet I am not here at all
((((((Mr. Richmond))))) It’s always a pleasure when you visit! Thank you for this beautiful peice. Tears hold many things but they also hold secrets and enough salt to season grannies homemade collard greens 😊 Enjoy this beautiful Saturday, spring is on the horizon 💛
Not on this horizon!
Where do you live, Alaska or Chicago!! I’m in Omish Town Lancaster Pennsylvania and the weather has been quite nice.
I live in NSW, Australia, where today the sun shines (as it has for months) and it’s about 38C (close enough to 100F) – Summer is in bloom and will be for a while yet.
Keep in mind that NSW is about 8 times the size of Pennsylvania
That’s a fun fact, I never knew and Pennsylvania is huge.
We only have 8 states in total and 2 of them are tiny, but the country itself is about the same size as mainland USA, with less than 10% of the population.
So beautifully written❤️
Thank you Korra! 🙂

Thank you so much, tears have been widely misunderstood but I do know they are salty lol
