Tear.
the tear
crystal clear
hangs on the tip of the eyelash???
rolls off- splash
the tear is warm
she conforms
to the spaces
of hollow faces
the tear starts to crystallize
freezing cold
a congealed form- she holds
numbing
the feeling?
tumbling down
still no sound
she softens
and listens
as she
runs
down
the
heart
every stumble
is a beat
as she draws heat
from the soul
and when she finally leaves the singed trail behind-
she trickles off
and lands on the tears

You're trilingual! That's pretty sick.
If you wanna know, I'm suposed to know chinese (I'm Cantonese and Hakka. Hakka are outcasts of society...-suits me :P) but I don't. I speak english though, but not that well because it is my second language. And my first language is french- I owe that to some power-hungry french king who decided to take over Africa, or at least parts of it. I an also understand creole, which is an african twist on french, but I struggle to speak it.
Thatsh all folsks! (So technically I speak 2 languages and a half)

Well you've just met your match!
You're a girl, right? How old?
I know it's not very unique :P bah. I just liked the idea of the homophones tear and tear so I decided to make a poem involving them. Your poems are so amazing and it means a lot to me that you answered too. XD Peace out.
