Chuck Melugin Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

Sometimes Tears Wash Away.....What Caused Them To Fall!

Watercolor

She said..... 

When you took the lover's moon
Out of my horizon....
You placed in in another woman's sky

Memories in teardrops.....
You've really got me crying.....
And they're staining everything in sight

Like a watercolor painting in the rain
What was oh so beautiful has made a sudden change
Once love runs down a face it will never be the same
Like a watercolor painting in the rain

I said.....

We can can have it painted over
Then, pick out a new frame....
So everything will be alright..

She said.....

I tried to call the artist
And the voice that answered...said
I'm sorry, but the painter died last night....
I guess that leaves our love like......

A watercolor painting in the rain
What was oh so beautiful, has made a sudden change
Once love runs down a face, it will never be the same
Like a watercolor painting in the rain

Just....a watercolor painting.......in the rain

Susan Ashley November 25, 2018 at 8:10 PM ‘Once love runs down a face, it will never be the same Like a watercolor painting in the rain’ - how exquisitely the pain of betrayal is expressed in your emotionally exceptional lyric, Chuck. Metaphorically beautiful and artistically breathtaking with the staining sadness of watercolored tears. A fav my talented friend! Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan Chuck Melugin February 27, 2019 at 5:14 AM Thanks Dear Susan, Please forgive my belated response and accept my heartfelt admiration!

Brandy Nicole November 10, 2018 at 1:12 PM What has been smudged, will no longer hold its true color. I like your thought: Being, that you would paint love on a new canvas. Yes, it can be done- but only if the other person wants the same thing. Very sad indeed, when they don't. Tears are left falling, upon the heart. Leaving a stain. This is so beautifully written and presented. ~ Brandy Chuck Melugin November 23, 2018 at 10:27 AM Awesome comment!! Thanks, Brandy!
