I poured soft teardrops
into the pillows of your shoulders
Clenched fists
became open palms
As our weary sighs carried us
to the morning’s alarm
Stretching out
I gave you my embrace:
a warmth to conceal
the salty, bitter taste
The taste of tears
that would not be swallowed
The taste of fears
of remaining hollow
Can we share our sadness
and in the sharing,
turn our sorrow into gladness?
Like the rainbow after the rain,
our joy is only complete
By enduring momentary pain
