Sentimental Journeys

A soaked face

Tells a thousand tales 

Of the storms and gales

Abashed by thunder
Struck by lightning

The lines of wisdom 

Give light to the unknown

From the age lived
Stories hide in each

The eyes try to lie
But to no avail
The soul peeks through
The facades veil

Heartbeats at the throat
About to stifle the air

The soaked face still
Yet to be dry

Looking for a shoulder to cry

Beneath the folds
Of the breast
Lies a tender heart
That loves deeply
That cares and prays 

For those who do not know
