A Teardrop Falls

A teardrop falls deeply—slicing and aching  
hurt twisting knots around the deepest fingers 
love you from my heart warmest emotions so 
in each kiss of your beauty I feel all of you 
worth the suffering and pain that happens 
gaining rewards in the end—undiminished love 
happiness such a precious gift for us forever 
the teardrop falls now freely in your honor
it spills warmly and gently in your name love 
as grace is my honor to bear this noble sacrifice 
with joy and I find you now my sweetest sunshine 
with happiness being my one-way ticket to paradise

Just now found this superb write my friends. Forgive me my absence and lack of time here as of late. I love this co-write and the smoothness makes it appear to be a single author! Bravo to both poets.. A7

Hello Robert . . . I'm sure Liam will be replying soon. Yup, we've both gotten much better with the synchronicity of making these co-writes more of a voice of one. Liam, I know, has a similar view. Best Always, Gary
