Tears of the Sun: A poem I wrote for someone.

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

So I wrote this a few years ago, for a girl I used to know. We broke up, but that's ok. I'm sure she won't mind if I post it here. Its a little cheesy, and its not the best. But it will have to suffice for today, while I work on something better.  


 You are the tears of the sun.  

 A criminal on the run.       


You are the shade of the moon   

stuck in gloom.       


You are a flower  

about to bloom.  

You are the morning dew.   


You are the cellophane, 

that contains all that is profane.       


You are the lines I trace.   

You are everything that I hate.       


You have no hope,  

but you have fate.  

What a stupid little game.       


You are the light,  

shining bright.       


You are rust,   

with a corroding touch.       


Swept under the rug   

like particles of dust.   

Everything is a must.       


You are the gold   

that I want to hold.       


You are copper.   

So very in-proper.       


You are a bottle   

without a stopper.   

Take care not to spill a drop or...       


You are the darkness.   

You are heartless.       


You are torn,   

so very wore.       


You are the beach,   

you are the shore,   

of this I’m very sure.       


You are life,   

sliced by a knife.       


You are death,   

without frets.       


Like a memory,   

that I forget.   

We could make a perfect set.

You are death. .. Without frets.... Not sure what you meant by it by my interpretation struck a cord. As always brother excellent job!

This is heartbreaking and beautiful. And then you want to preface it with "not that good"... Nice try.. I'm going to have to disagree. I know I'm going to love the rest of your work. Thank you so much for sharing
