Array ( [sid] => 112169 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Memory [time] => 2005-12-27 14:04:16 [hometext] => [bodytext] => The memory of you
crying in my arms
torments my brain.
The tears burn my skin.

What do they symbolize?
Are they a ploy
to get me closer...
to see if I shall weep too?
Do I remind you
too much of him?

As you lie in my arms
A single tear roles
down my cheek
exploding onto your nose.
You look up,
We gaze into each others
eyes, wondering why?

I cannot hold your gaze for long,
for soon my eyes will be filled with
the watery sadness,
I know that
your love will not be mine for long,
it can't be, you still yurn for him.
I just want to be able to hold you
for at least one more night. [comments] => 6 [counter] => 290 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Poser [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Not at all bad. I like the first and second stanzas best, I think (though of course it doesn't do to slice and dice a poem), and the image of the third stanza is also good.

I do feel that the lines
for soon my eyes will be filled with
the watery sadness,
are a bit weak; perhaps start out with something other than the words " eyes filled with _____" (a very often-used structure to describe tears), and a better image will suggest itself.

Keep writing, and have fun!

heartbreaking, yet very moving.
