To Repel Her Tears by a Kiss…

A poem that expressed one who longs to love another.

From the world her face veils

Behind the asylum walls of her hands

As the dam of weeping river fails

Flooding into the most beautiful lands

Powerless to aid, my heart aches

To bear witness of her sorrow

As her happiness, life cruelly takes

To leave her no hope for morrow.

To drive away the tears by a kiss

Speaking gentle words or a fond song

To bring out a smile I so miss.

Remedies for I silently long,

As her heart belongs to another 

That forces us to endure suffer.

Author's Note

I struggle with meter in poetry, but I welcome any constructive criticism.
