A Drop of Water

a drop of water once spoke of a river

a river endless as time

its bright waters passionately streaming

and waves ebbing a joyful rhyme

you don't know

you don't know

how much

my fingers

bled

when i

removed

the thorns

from

your heart

you are

you are

        a rare creature

  a myth

       buried

   in a secret page

     of literature

one day

  the world will have

       to dig in

and exhume you

    from my heart

to see

 how your soul

spills

  from your body

             giving light

     to the stars

do not move a mountain

do not move a mountain

with your faith

it is a crime

only move me

with your love

and mountains will swim 

across the oceans

trees will touch the stars

for even a rose could love a thorn

if you were mine
