Scolding the tears!!!

Through eyes to cheeks, it takes instant flight
To seek vast attention this night
enlarged eyes with unnumbered tears roll
Though practicalities knocking her mind in Crime Patrol
Sorry on sorry running around
And Circling thoughts fill the vast profound
His harsh words now and then
with energised anger so silent in her eyes
 The innocent angel view him as a convict unknown
Pressing the soft neck with virtual rope
Then smiling for her insult from the core
 Three saints beating her with harsh unspoken words
"Thrice welcome thou" the guilt replies
And she thanks god, for snatching her voice
Say would you scold the tears for the crime above
Or, would you mark his licensed words as true love
