A Waterfall

by Meme   Jan 3, 2012


My eyelashes are burdened
by the morning dewdrops; a
strange feeling to keep them
closed.

Eyes closed; and a deep breath
taken; with the crack of dawn,
I can almost hear the hidden
whispers.

Standing at the vulnerability
of the sky, as yesterday drags
its velvety darkness revealing
a new beginning.

Then a stray of dewdrops find
a way to my lips, but how come
they resemble the relish of ocean
tears?

I opened my eyes to realize
that every teardrop leads to a
waterfall, so I surrender my tears
with the tails of yesterday.

    Such sadness portrayed in simple words but engrosses one as he/she reads on. Your use of nature for the theme of the poem, gives it a natural feeling. Very relatable and depressing. Beautifully crafted with your carefully selected words of natures finest. I likey! much luv. ;-)

    Wow!! Beautiful!!! As always, I love your poetry hon!

    I love the idea of how these dewdrops fall... and how it's gradual... but then it becomes a waterfall.

    I loved these stanzas:

    Standing at the vulnerability
    of the sky, as yesterday drags
    its velvety darkness revealing
    a new beginning
    >> best part: velvety darkness !!!

    I opened my eyes to realize
    that every teardrop leads to a
    waterfall, so I surrender my tears
    with the tails of yesterday.
    >> love the idea of tears leading to a waterfall... it reminded me of a quote I came up with... it's something like "I'm a human waterfall"

    This poem really touched me and I loved it... I like how you compared the taste of tears to ocean tears, there's a saltiness about it, which inspired me to write my poem about the ocean.. and your description reminded me of my inspiration!

    Amazing poem hon! Well done =D
