Muddy pond

Does always seem that romance ends up in a snare... but I noticed you called it an emotional race at the end. The words that popped in my head directly after come from the song "Promiscuous Girl", You want in my world get lost in it, Boy, I'm tired of running. Let's walk for a minute.

Perhaps if it it done right it should feel more like a romantic slow dance instead of a race. On the other hand, I could have missed the point :)

Connie..

This is so small.yet, vivid, steamy, fervent.. and HOT :)

It was sad to read, but really beautiful.

I like how can small verses affect us!

I am not one to pick apart someones writing or give ideas on how to change things around. When I read something I just try to place myself in the scene and let it speak to me in that way. A very vivid picture came to me while reading this . Great job !

I see what Kiko's saying, and I agree... but I think if you drop the punctuation, drop the capitalization, too. Otherwise it looks unfinished.

I like the images you've created. One suggestion, though, is to change the the verb endings to:
rain drops create
ripples in a quiet pond
disfiguring mirrored images

just as a lover's tears
distort emotions once
thought stable and pure

I think that would make it more powerful. And one other thing to think about: would "images" be better as "reflections"? I only mention it because I think it adds a deeper metaphor to the poem, and it would show a bit of "r" alliteration in the third line.
Up to you, though. :)
Nice piece.

I meant this:

Rain drops creating
ripples in a quiet pond
disfiguring mirrored images

Like a lover's tears
distorting emotions once
thought stable and pure
