The watery pearl


I was on the verge of 
Laying my bare sole 
Upon a patch of grass 
My eyes noticed it
Amidst some 
Green stripes 
With no fanfare 
A round,  watery pearl
Your earlobes 
At the time so lovely 
For a fleeting second
By the way 
Where are you currently 
We meet to part with 
Candle to get extinguished 
An autumn swing 
To be relinquished 
The clouded face
On the brink of raining 
out of the race 
At the small window 
The bus must leave 
The pearl too
Waiting to melt 
Neither the earrings 
Nor the hair bun 
The inexorable sun
