rain and pearl drops

(*rain drops
syllable-based; 5-3-5.)

rain weaves north current
clouds knot up
patterns burst their seams

(*The Gulf Stream - Land has a lower heat capacity than oceans, and it also heats and cools faster than oceans. During the winter, the land is much colder than the oceans. When the westerly winds blow over it, the air cools substantially.)

(**pearl drops
word-based; 3-5-3.)

snow white balls
melts from a woman's neck
swine frolic atop

(**Matthew 7:6 "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.")

Drove past your old house, slowin' just because..
perhaps just to return to scene of the crime.
Kinda sad to find nothing left as once was, 
proof your lapdog better comfort than I.

Came to settle all old grievances,
finish what once so well begun, though breaking. 
My mistake in guess, you shined in happiness,
and the whole world was yours for the taking.

I know feet weren't meant to trample a heart,
and finer hands never meant my soul undone. 
Maybe there's hope for us, a chance at new start, 
can't hold my breath waitin' that day will come.

I touched your citrus seed, tasted tender skin., 
though forgot to quench thirst from sweet juice within.

“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.”
Matthew 7:6

So hard it can be
to take that upward trek
leading from the depths 
of resentment’s abyss
where the stench of offensivenss
surrounding you
begins to gag you.

You can sputter and choke on 
your horrible displeasure
(a few times in my life I've allowed this to occur)
but how good it felt to rise up
from the pit
where my own shiny pearls
had been hurled back at me
so cruelly.

I knew . . . 
        I knew very well
my pearls were never meant
for swine.

I say to all who feel that pain
of utterances most profane, 
let them not echo in your ears.
Let not others' evil deeds 
bring you to their level.
Take that road
that leads you up out of the abyss.
Tread steadfastly
and never look back
until their oaths against you
fade 
         into
                    nothingness.

Young ladies don’t cast your pearls before swine,
For their motives have many warning signs,
Cherish your beauty in everyway,
My darling sisters think twice before your so quick to lay,
Don’t become another statistic,
Remember your body is purely artistic,
Don’t sell your soul to a ravenous fool,
This is not just a promise, it is a lifelong tool,
Young princess, that’s who you really are,
Spare yourselves the unnecessary scars,
For out of the heart comes lies and deceit,
While you’re looking for love,
They are looking for fresh flesh to eat,
My angels, guard your treasure above all,
For at any moment you may slip up and fall,
Charm is deceptive and kisses from an enemy come with a price,
Don’t allow a void inside to become a blinded vice,
My darlings, saver your purity and youth,
Someday the right one will come to you with respect and truth,
Just be patient, and love yourself first,
Look above if you question your worth,
For a rose so beautiful and rare,
Has no idea what heaven has prepared.
