Pearl

                           Teardrops fell…
                     years of hurt and pain,
                  encased in those little pearls
                    of suffering and passion,
                        created bit by bit,
                inside the shell of determination,
              Two parts of time - past and present,
               covering the most precious emotion,
             until it becomes a shiny lustrous object,
                      Tempting to human race!

Dearest Poet Empress, To me, your comments are a drizzle of thoughtful, appreciative, kind words! This short poem is just a few spontaneous lines arising from my heart - sometimes not knowing why! I love to create the image of "Pearl" as teardrops. Love reading your brilliant poems too - with exceptional imageries and word choices. Thank you. Sending you love and warmest wishes ~ Mala
