Salt Tears


Don’t Lie


 


salt tears don’t lie


glistening eyes


as teardrops fall


it’s no disguise


a phony smile


forced into play


but tears don’t lie


hear what they say


 


salt tears don’t lie


if you can read


they say a lot


explain indeed


choose to ignore


cold emotions


but tears don’t lie


cheat devotion


 


salt tears don’t lie


fingertip raised


catch a jewel


taste ocean’s brine


on lips so cruel


now make a choice


a heart’s reply


an answer please


cause tears don’t lie!

Tears tell the story, Fee, even when the heart doesn't want to show the emotions we feel.

A solidly written, emotive poem.
Thanks,
Jill

I loved this Fee. But, I went a different direction. Salt tears sting the lashes a cold heart leaves. Great poem!

Dear Fee -there are two types of tears, actually three types - the emotional type ones of this poem contain many proteins, hormone based proteins, one of which is a natural pain killer in the body, forget the name, the residue of which is released when we cry, and this alone makes one feel a bit better - no - tears, all types, don't lie -they can't - and the pain in your poem and the question you want answering, requests honestly, an honest answer - because these tears of pain, don't lie. Such pain unanswered comes from silent 'lips so cruel' indeed. Love to you Fee, Nicky xx

Oh dear Cuz Felix, you stole my heart away for these words are so true, TEARS DON'T LIE how very true, as I cry many but mostly for joy I thank God above. Might I add it is ok for both women and men to cry tears, it just shows that they think and love from their hearts. Thank you for sharing with us.
Love always ya Cuz, XOXO Rose

Powerful...tears are like the eyes: windows to the soul, to one's emotions, be it pain or pleasure.

Fee, So expressive and so true -- "cause tears don't lie!"
Tears ARE the mirror of one's soul, whether they be tears of despair, sadness or joy.
Thank you for such an inspirational poem,
Kathy

And they taste of things gone forever.
Give your heart a break, smell a rose, look for that special formed cloud, hear a chirping bird, and smile to a friend.
