Andrea Dietrich Poet Tetractys

Simultaneous Thoughts of Soul Mates Soon To Meet

"She"

Like
one of
these tears that
freed itself from
my misted eyes, you've slipped away from me.
Oh, that once again you'd caress my face
like this tear which
warmly slides
down my
cheek.

"He"

I 
watch you,
sad lady,
from my table
and see myself that tear that trails your skin.
While you think of someone else, I'm dying
to be that tear
that lingers
on your
mouth.

Kabuteng P.Ink K. July 29, 2010 at 8:59 AM Oh my what a sweet tetractys, Andrea! I really enjoyed how you related tears for each of them--pretty unique approach I think & how wonderful huh? I think the story you depict here is a great example of things happening for a reason?? Soulmates indeed! Loved how you did this in a "simultaneous" fashion! -- hugs-- nikko :)

C.C Bloomsfield July 29, 2010 at 8:42 AM It seems that these'soul mates'are in love from a distance.Did you do it on purpose,mist my eyes with tears?lol,I wonder if he's watching,guess he is,wanting to be that tear,i guess he is all that she have,all that she is. .Who knows destiny,touching and a favorite,i can relate to such emotions. .C.C

Daver Austin July 29, 2010 at 8:14 AM Hey! These two ought to get together before the tears dry up and reality sets in. Good write. Incidentally,the Spain visit didn't come through. My carrier has instituted a new display which somethimes fouls up. Love, Dave
