Tears Fall Upwards Too by *DrowningByWords:iconDrowningByWords:





Brittle dreams dream you stronger
pain leaves scars but scars heal over time,
seeing the day out in your heart.

Bitter trails of shooting stars moving faster into old days.
A two way dream love is an illusion. Illuminating two way mirrors,
seeing the night through your heart.

Life is most interesting
when you’re least interested.
Talking in your sleep
things come to you,
that can’t seem to be expressed awake.
A deep pile of secrets.
Angels in raindrops,
angels in raindrops making hearts grow.
Tears fall upwards too.

Painting stars with blood, sweat and tears.
Darkness dripping downwards’ already the past,
mixing up lost stories and giving birth to rainbows.

Telling stories about someone else’s story
made of unbelievable secrets,
your own story is made of believable lies.

A dream worth holding onto
waking with tired eyes, going to sleep with sad eyes.
Tied together and thrown off a cliff in bad weather,
holding back tears you never gave up on me.
Clinging onto promises and kisses from forgotten faces;
a complex muddy puddle of love,
conjured from a dream.
Angels in raindrops kiss the ground,
tears fall upwards too.

“Tree took account of road, which was aware of air, which was mindful of sea, which shared things with sun. Every element lived in harmonious relation with its neighbour, and all was kith and kin... I felt like a small circle coinciding with
the center of a larger one.” from the Life of Pi.

Inspired by reading The Life of Pi [link] ; listening to the Beatles' Rubber Soul [link] album, by friends past and present; my BFF,
change, understanding and the openess to learn knew things.

One of the many beautiful and inspiring songs off
the Beatles' Rubber Soul (1965) LP:

"In My Life"

There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed,
Some forever, not for better,
Some have gone and some remain.
All these places had their moments,
With lovers and friends I still can recall,
Some are dead and some are living,
In my life I've loved them all.
But of all these friends and lovers,
There is no one compared with you,
And these mem'ries lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new.
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more.
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more.
In my life I love you more.
