teardrops
her words are teardrops
preserved in my eyes
like liquid diamonds
of inspiration
cascading in my heart
seeping bone deep
should you find any beauty
in the verses I spill
it is her reflection
always swimming
in the poetry I weep
teardrops

Thrilled that my poem may have touched you in anyway. Thank you for saying that.
I have blogging friends and a few friends here in New York who are so supportive of my blog.
They send me images all the time. Sometimes they even challenge me to write something for an image.
I am a very lucky man. My database of images to use is now over 4,500.
Happy you enjoyed this poem. Thank you for your lovely words. They are gems here.

Though at one point I did imagine how Winnie the Pooh would walk on words sometimes, and thought how pokey letters would be to swim in…
