O! Mother why do you shed your costly tears for me? <br />I'm horrid and of no use to this world, <br />With every unforgiving minute to my credit, <br />And the agony of my presence; causing tears to your eyes, <br />Those eyes which once oozed tears of ebullient happiness and joy, <br />Newness and excitement, <br />With the past memories reflecting poignantly in them, <br />And the most moisture engulfing them; making those tears more costly and inimitably priceless. <br /> <br />Please close your eyes, <br />For I have not the strength; to see your sorrow pouring out, <br />Just for the sake of a wretched boy, <br />Those holy white drops of your pain; purify the area on which they fall, <br />Creating tremors of faith, <br />Depicting your immortal glory to all. <br />Your eyes are so astoundingly beautiful, <br />Weren't meant to cry, <br />But to enjoy the tears of ecstasy gushing out instead, <br />Every instant; creating sweet rivulets of love, <br />Away from my unearthly soul, <br />In a blissful world you would like to live in, <br />Leaving my disgraceful form; in the hands of the supreme form. <br /> <br />My every unpardonable deed, <br />Leads me to those pointed thorns, where I await my harsh destiny. <br />O! Dear mother please don't cry, <br />Don't waste the wonderful years of your life, <br />For a coward like me, uncaring, unloving, causing misery to your impeccable heart, <br />Leave this devilish character, <br />Far away from your mesmerizing shadow, <br />Giving those eternal eyes of yours some rest, <br />But for heaven sake please don't cry.<br /><br />Nikhil Parekh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/precious-tears-2/
