The Drop

Following a tear drop

In this drop of water is a reflection of me

as it begins to fall through gravity, I start to see

children playing in the fields with a canvas of green

my eyes twinkle at the presences of this delightful scene

 

Their laughter rocks the drops’ as it continues to fall

like the reverberation of a guitar strumming in the hall

the dancing shakes the ground with their creative fun

not a care in the world as our drop meets the sun

 

Through the crystal drop, lilies are reaching to be set free

the yellow snapdragons are whipping along, next to the trees

in the distances, one can see that the maple stands with the oak

the earth fresh scent, arises from last night’s soak

 

As the drop gets closer to that magical point of destination

I notice, across the land, in a darken corner, a new creation

a winged creature that looks like a person with a glowing aura

a finger pointing to just above the heart while holding a golden torah

 

Words whispering through the leaves, peaceful but with distortion

as I tried to decipher the true meaning, all I could get, was a portion

 

I think it went like this,

 

True love lies in the barriers of surroundings, in the confines of one’s heart

to know it, you must touch it, not with your fingers, for you don’t want it to depart

 

You must touch it with your heart and adhere it with the boundaries of your soul

once they meet, the clouds will disappear and all the pieces will become whole

out of the confusion will come your compassion that will liquefies in your mind

then your arms can reach, and hands touch, the very warmth, that was lost in time

 

 

For this love will shatter any remnants of the past; the walls blocked your path

the cleansing begins to heal all those wounds, as you wade around in the cool bath

now washed away from all those thoughts that harbored the strains that love found

the crystal drop of water draws near its end as its reflection fades into the ground

I love the imagery in this piece. The internal rhyme was great also. I never thought about writing a poem about a teardrop before. That's very clever and original. All your poems are amazing and I think I might have to label you as one of my favorite poets on this site, Great Job and Congratulations.

You're such a great writer, Ralphy. I truly don't don't where to begin on this one....

Those things you said about the heart...damn. You tear me up all the time.... Perhaps it's my time of life, yes,?

A beautiful piece in every aspect, and the last stanza.....wow.

That's a complex and beautifully described tear drop. A poem with an Alluring ending created with vivid imagery as it fades into the ground. Sweet Write! Sabine*

Always good with the imagery, aren't we? ;) The style was really easy to read and flowed perfectly. You're very good at depicting nature and your surroundings, and adding a sort of supernatural element to it. Good job!
