TEARS

 Dr.Annie John






Tears are virtuous
They speak the language of love
There is immense power in tears
Speaking the universal tongue
They run errands.....
Carry a thousand messages

Tears do what tongues fail
They begin when words stop
Healing the heart and soothing the soul
They flow miles ahead 
Binding a relationship.....
Set the seal of permanence

Tears flow incessant when overwhelmed with pain
Dumbfold and at a loss of things
Fail to cease
The crystal clear tears....
Makes its way through realms of grief

There is a serenity in tears
An offering of divinity placed at the altar of love
Express the said and the known
And in times of silent solitude....
Speaks volumes about the unsaid

It also concentrates on the theory of dialogism in relation to the notion of intertexuality in contemporary critical theory. The revival and reint

Strange Passion                                   Dr. Annie John The little bird ached with bleeding wings Flapping violently at the bars sought escape But when it was time to fly away.... She had fallen in Love with the Cage. The tall prison walls, prevented him a view outside Defeated, struggled hard to break through But when he gained his freedom.... He had fallen in Love with the Wall's solidarity. The plants hated him and his scissors He trimmed them to discipline their unruliness But when it was time adorn someone's garden.... They had fallen in Love with Gardner . The water vapor locked up in the pregnant cloud Suffocated, Sought release  But by the time cloud burst.... She had fallen in Love with the Sky. Rejection, Isolation and Solitude killed her instinct to live Died a million times every moment But when proved innocent.... She had already fallen in Love with Loneliness . Lying on his death bed, Su
