Languisement by S.J. TylerTasting my lover
Is eating her tears
Bidding her
To cry in my mouth
An ending to sorrow that is
The driving force behind my labours
That push her tides to rise and fall
Because crying is the endpoint
Of a sadness pent up
And these sweet tears are far from
Those of sadness
But mark the crest of the other side
Where shedding tears is a sign
Of far more feeling
Above all, an end of sorrow
So that I must push her over the edge
As many times as I can
Because each fall
I would that there were always
Another rise
Because unlike in crying
Tears here mark no endpoint
In fact, her sweet tears
Speak to me of a glorious beginning
