One Tear Removed

Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet

 

One Tear Removed

  

My heart has stopped!

 There is no sound

within these hollow walls.

No pumping as it were.

 

Oh God, no beat!

 No drum that sounds the rhythm of the day.

No melody that sings your serenade.

 

Enter the night!

 Cooling desert flowers with her breeze.

She spits; then laughs,

as star shed tears

to wash your footprints from a routine path.

 

I search in vain

to find a reverie; a fleeting song,

where you once lived

dancing in the shadow of the sun.

 

Yet, what remains

is just a silhouette within my mind,

which quickly turns to stone

without remorse,

then walks away in haste;

a living thing,

one tear removed

from a desperate scream.
