Teardrops

I did not even think, lo, that you would erupt, Like lava from a wild volcano, so abrupt; You are not mere water raised as a vapor, Nor imaginations unwritten on paper; Instead, you are my hopelessness and helplessness, Breaking into waves of oceans of recklessness...! My emotions pile up like Ice Mountains and hills, Melt by the summer sun of feelings heart brim-fills; I turn helpless as a child fell into a pond, I plead reasons and reasonableness, to bond; None dares to perforate the holes of my tears, Is this because each element has its own fears...? O my tears, I love you because you are unique, You push yourself in full hope and when faith is bleak; In birth and death when in mixed emotions you move, My moods, on and off, you approve and disapprove; You are like rains or gales that cleanse the earth, Having shed you in abundance I gain new birth...!!! 17 June 2023 Teardrop Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Regina McIntosh
