Single Tear

a poem of acceptance

a single tear 

rolls down my cheek 

thinking of you 

in goodbyes

parting ways

i dared not speak 

darkness 

offers brand new light 

nothing shall 

remain the same 

connection is 

so brief 

together riding 

along the plane 

never venturing 

underneath 

we pushed we tried 

with all our might 

both knowing

all was lost 

a single moment 

was our plight 

love given 

at no cost  

as the tear 

is swept away 

within the gentle

evening air 

acknowledging

the lessons taught  

stripping my 

soul to bare

'Single Tear,
KWP,
This was a beautiful poem of 'knowing.' I suppose process within a relationship comes to a single moment when a truth is seen. If it is the end and becomes apparent then even a second in time can become real and their is no going back. This particular poem is very focused in its reality of this context. I really like how you made a point within the feelings and responses of the two within this poem coming down to a final conclusion. Great work!
Blessings,
Kathy

Beautiful..me and my weirdness saw this as not just a tear drop but a love lost. Fighting and hanging on with all you can and then finally accepting that it has run its course ! Swiping the tear away as you learn from your lesson!! Brilliant and loved reading this one!!

You're right, it is a poem of acceptance, beautifully shaped and caressing one's mind.....Stunning poetry dear author :)

I think the title says more than any of the poem's lines.

That's not so much a criticism of the poem, but more like praise for the imagery a single word can create.

On a personal level, I would have liked to have seen this poem stripped a little further until only the original space that spawned it remained.

In anycase, nice job Harlequin.

back to stripping again ?

and c'mon you know me - that was stripped :) x

[Sleiman Azizi]

[Colton Warr]

Great write here. To encapsulate so much into an idea as small as a tear drop, that's excellent. The emotion is strong in this piece. The pain tearing through the heart. You conveyed that well. Thanks for writing!
