Pearls Like Tears
To lost everything in the hope of getting something,
To say nothing in the hope of saying one thing,
To drink tears in the hope of getting a loving smile,
I have seen the blooming of Rose buds amid the piercing thorns
And have seen the glittering morning dew drops,
Not becoming Pearls due to sunrise.
I have also seen pearl like tears rolling from eyes,
While the lover’s beloved waited and waited for her love,
For innumerable days and nights.
