Tears

Its the story of a mother who lost her kid...i just tried to wrote the state of her mind..

TEARS

 

Those tiny droplets of eyes never held any special meaning to my life,

I always thought they cry because they want to feel the pain we feel in our lives.

 

Passing through the crowds seeing someone cry,

I always stood there to know the reasons behind those howling eyes.

 

That’s how I met that lady on a drizzling night,

She was crying holding a child tight to her life.

 

That was her son, lying dead in front of me; I paused for a moment recaptured my soul,

Thought of helping her but her tears put me on hold.

 

I asked her why she is holding her pain, why is she not letting that tiny soul rest in peace,

She looked at me with many questions in her whimpering eyes,

How will you feel when your only son dies and you don’t want to let him go for the last time.

He was my heart and soul, a beautiful dream that I was nurturing for long,

He died last night leaving tears with my eyes and soul.

I am not crying because he died, I am not crying because he left me for the lifetime,

I am crying because I don’t know who will take care of him after that night.

 

I have heard of second life; tell me will my son get to live that another life,

Who will feed him there, who will wipe his tears?

Will, he gets to live a life that’s beautiful than the pains that he faced here,

Will he remember me there, will he remember how much I cared,

I have fears in my heart that are hard to hide,

My son has died here and I really don’t know how to say his goodbye,

Should I wish him luck for another chance or should I pray to God not to give him another painful life?

 

My tears are not just for fear that I have; they also have few reasons for some smile,

People say we go to heaven when we die, to meet the angels of God’s paradise.

I always told him the beautiful stories of angels, that my mother told, 

I didn’t get to see them, but I always lived them,

See my son got his chance to live the stories that his mother always wanted to be a part of,

My son always asked me about those angels of his sweet dreams,

Now he has that princess, and no one can take her away from his arms.

 

This cloudburst is not meant to get my soul wet,

It’s God’s tears to say sorry for the mistake he has commit,

He knows he is at fault, he knows he has made two of us apart,

But I can’t say him anything, no I can’t, after all, he is God, The God,

He can play with people’s lives, with a mother’s heart and a child’s dreams,

I can’t curse him, but I also can’t forgive him,

With my every tear here, I am just praying he will take good care of him,

He will give him everything, which this life denied him.

 

You are a stranger for me, I see my God in you,

Can you feel my pain; can you see the soreness on my face,

With my every word to you, I am healing myself,

I am trying to put myself stronger so that my kid doesn’t feel my pain,

I can’t beg God to stop this rain, let it cover me, let it wash my kid before a new day,

My soul is bleeding in pain, but I have to smile here because my kid will never be in my arms again, will never be in my arms again.

 

With those words of her, my every question got its answer; my soul just felt it’s not there,

Her pain just left me shattered, I wanted to leave, but I found no place,

Tears do hold a meaning, a deep meaning, a meaning that’s attached to every soul,

Why I cried, maybe I felt her pain, but do I have the answers to her prayers,

No, sometimes even God doesn’t have every answer and enough words to explain.

You questions and you seek answered in the poem. I believe we must mourn.
"Why I cried, maybe I felt her pain, but do I have the answers to her prayers,
No, sometimes even God don’t have every answer and enough words to explain."
Easy to cry for the fallen, if you lost a child. Heavy pain upon the heart. Powerful words and thoughts shared my friend.

This poem evoked my memory and the day i lost one of my close friends came to my mind- just the way you pictured her mother had held her arms and the pallu of her saree over her daughter's ashen face,so that the sun rays don't scorch her.Standing by the coffin rendered me speechless.watching the heart- wrenching scene there my heart asked a question- God you could have changed it,couldn't you??..
the same way your words painted the scene infront of me,the tears melt with the rain drops,people cry in rain to hide it. The sorrow of the woman is inconsolable.

This cloudburst is not meant to get my soul wet,
It’s the God’s tears to say sorry for the mistake he has commit,

I loved this line because I used to believe that when it rained it was God's tears for all of the horrible things that human beings do. I know your take was a little different, but I loved it all the same.

You weave together a very sad and personal story in this piece for sure. You walk in the rain, speculating about why people cry, only to have your question answered by this poor woman who has lost the most important person in her life. I think you captured her mourning very well and your emotions in this context were spot on. Wanting to leave because it was uncomfortable, but not being able to because you felt you owed it to this poor woman to share in her pain. Fantastic work, this was awesome.

[raj24]

[Ayushi]

You have got so much emotions in this write..
It is a very heartfelt and moving one..Such day should not come in anyone's life.

[raj24]

Thanks Ayushi....:).. yes such days should never come in anyone's life.

[Naina]

It is really a very beautiful poem.. you have beautifully and sensibly described a mother's emotion on her only son's death.. and the most beautiful part of this poem is when you have described the concern of the mother for her child even after his death, her concern that whether her son would get another life or not and if yes then who will wipe his tears, who will feed him!!!! very nice work, must say very nice thought.. KEEP IT UP..!!

[raj24]
