“There must be something strangely sacred in salt. It is in our tears and in the sea.”
― Kahlil Gibran
You fall incessantly from my eyes covering my face and drawing a veil on my emotions my secret keeper my promise bearer You roll down my cheeks as a reminder of the promise unkept as a reminder of my heart broken and the shards piercing and all the bridges I have been trying to keep in place you roll down gleefully as wishes and dreams are burnt alive I can't cup or hold you you are just bits of salty water you know a reminder of my heart as it fails to contain the insatiable joy inside the welling up of eyes when I can't hide the love inside I hide you behind all the curtains of the curved lip and cursed heart when I don't want you to see that I'm being burnt alive I'm your creator you are born out of me you every iota of existence is compensated by the blood running through my veins I create you but you still manage to defy me. My tears, defy me.
Thanks, Chiradeep for featuring my work on your esteemed site.

SO much emotion and such a beautiful description of tears. Yes, we give birth to them and yet, they defy us.

Megha, Sakhi is a darling and a great poetess as well. She writes excellent stories, articles and poems. I told about you and how you manage so many blogs and sites… I even shared the poem that allured me to your site if you remember… The wedding or marriage one or something to do with lovers… So I thought let me introduce her to you… She wants to write poems and articles on the sites you admin or approve.
Now over to both of you…😎😂

Being the leader of this blog or webzine it was my responsibility to welcome a fresh writer for getting published for the first time…. But I failed this time to do so before… I apologise for the delay.
Megha, Welcome to Candles Online. It’s my pleasure to have you alongside me and all my teammates. You wrote this poem instilling so much insights within it. It’s not just a literary piece but an ornament to be adorned by all of us.
Thank you for bringing so much joy to Candles Online by shedding your tears… Oops, I mean writing on the topic Tear. 😉
