Two Drops of Tears

*****;;; ***** l. tears rip at the seams of memories’ betrayed trust like liquid fists gushing through desolate waterfalls gargling bloodied sobs upon lungs lumped with crust, wet, wet on crumbled sagas of tortured, brick walls this is the pang of swallows falling dark… the pain, of a painful tear ravished by sins doubly committed by spiked wrists slit by eyes’ deceit on pelted rain, cracks of tinctured vapors stain these suds not quite acquitted ll. still, there are tears robed in delight of embroidered nights and perching there, radiance’s rafters spin overlapping joy, swarming the soul with giant suds whitening all whites as giggles lift cottoned pillows only love’s fullness can buoy i think of rekindled homes knighted by flutes’ ripeness where children paddle days virginal without attic of fears a maze of hoisted jaunts open zipped stars’ need for madness, in times marinated gingerly sweet by life’s lush beat... such are tears, they cleanse all. they crawl out of soul’s dual spears. all rights reserved © ******************** (( for HGarvey Daniel Esquire's " Personify a Tear )) by nette onclaud

Marvelous content and a perfect example of a verse which cries out for capitalization and periods ;) you are attempting a formal rhyme scheme and using an informal formate? Congrad's on your win [nette& I are just dicussing NO worries!] Light & Love

my goodness....another gem to add to the coronet ( coronette?)( joke)...especially "liquid fists" "lungs lumped with crust"......all the words seem to conjure themselves from a mind perpetually at play in a dictionary...I admire your work Oh yes (not joke)....by the way you need not pay for the second verse I wrote (joke) unless it is in american dollars(joke)...yours sincerely (not joke) Syd (joke?)

Yes, some tears water the quilted fabric, and some tears stain through the worn seams! Nice twining of pain and joy!
