    Black Tears
    I cry them on my front porch
    They flow from my eyes, leaving a white stain on my cheeks
    Creeping up on my top lip, salty to my tongue
    Cold and wet, I cry for some one to hear my heart speak
    Not able to make it to the front door
    I leave my trace of tears on the steps of my house
    I leave my pain the for you to trip over
    Hoping you would notice my agony, you would hear my voice
    The sorrow that pours with my tears
    I leave my heart on the top step hoping you would pick it up
    Attempt to mend it, since it was you who broke it
    I cry them on my front porch
    The flow from my eyes, these black tears of mine

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
