I Am Born

Out of tears I am born
A drop,
drowned amidst others

The ripples carry me through,
carry me across
Drops burbling around

I am born
And I am drowned
And I fuse

I embrace silence
My heart kisses death
And more tears come

I am born
And I die.
Tears of my own making

Maybe
It’s only to die
That I am born

Out of tears

Tears that flow
In my veins.

Blood drops down my cheeks
My eyes wallow in a pool
A pool where I am buried

In tears I am born
With tears
I am born

Only

To depart

Wow. That was a really good writing job. I like how everything comes full cirlce with the tears; you born out of them and you died with them.

This piece has a great structure and to me its quite unique. Excellant poem.

[Rene Velez]

really nice structure, it trickles down, great wording...

[Kenneth The Poet]

I really the triplet stanza approach you take. It plays off the Hegelian Dialectic very well. And the ending, sheer concrete beauty. You are gifted poet, Shameem.

[Jeremy Baker]

Beautiful reflection on the cycle of life.

To live and die. Born again through tears of pain. Very emotional.
