Pouring Emotions

Between Shadow & Light

Streaming tears
down my face,
ever flowing
not from sadness
nor grief.

A frenzy you created
within my body,
immense emotions flying,
overwhelming me
with nowhere to go
but to trickle down
my cherry-red cheeks.

I don't recall ever being able to provoke this sort of reaction in a woman. Damn it.

Some emotions rise on their own. I only tried to give them a place to land.

This poem is such a pure expression of sadness and vulnerability. It takes courage to show hurt. I appreciate so much.

Excellent poem. Tears from a frenzy are no less powerful than any other tears. ~Jim

Thank you, Jim. I’m glad the emotion came through. Every kind of tear has its own truth.

There is a sad crying and a good crying...this is the good kind. Tears of joyous emotion.
Lately, I have reason for those bad tears...this gave me pause and a smile.

not all emotions are from sadness, some are from joy, and even joy can make a flow of tears, a nice flow to your thoughts...
