All the Rivers of Tears Poem, by Carl Halling, at My poetic side

I feel at one with sweethearts

Through the years,

With the wartime lovers

Who went overseas,

All the shattered hearts,

All the rivers of tears,

I feel them all.

Verses of love,

Lovers who must part,

Portraits of love

Worn so very close to the heart,

All the lovers lost,

Loves that never even start,

I feel them all.

Comment from author about the poem: "All the Rivers of Tears" was originally part of the coda of a song called "My Former Love", part of a long series committed to cassette ca. 1999, and which also included "West London in the Sun".
