Some quick thoughts – call it a poem?
The Unshed Tears
By Dr. Meenakshi Mohan
When the unshed tears
want to flow
and tell the story of the heart
the levees of the ocean of eyes
constrain them within their orbits
and the story remains untold, unheard
the brain knits another story
the world sees only parted lips –
a smile –
the eyes, lips, heart, and the brain
do not have the same saga –
or a poem?
