Stars Are Tears

Some things were meant to last forever

But good things don't last for long

Just when you think the show is over

The chorus sings another song



Treasures lost into the ocean

Are found in dessert land

And things you can't let go of

Seem to slip right out your hand



Words never said, should have been

The moment's forever lost

A life time of unhappiness

Is a simple mistakes cost



Eyes can tell a story

But the heart can preach a tune

It's melody so sorrowful

It soars up to the moon



The moon knows many burdens

Each tear becomes a star

People wish upon misfortune

But never gets them very far

Another absolutely beautiful piece. I love it. So wonderfully heart felt. Gorgeous imagery and a beautifully melodic pace and rhyme scheme. Well done!

That was a beautiful poem... I, too, can relate to this poem.

I was first captured by the title of this piece, and only intended to skim through, but this poem has a delicate flow to it, and it held my attention. The last stanza wraps up the poem very smoothly. Very good, keep it up!

Wow I really love this. Nice imagery and great use of juxtaposition.

The ballad form is masterfully deployed, and the wisdom of the words resonates long after the first reading. This is one of the most magnificent poems on postpoems!
