A Drop of Tear

I hardly write long verses, but this is the shortest. Also, most of my poetry has an unmistakable rhyme- a style that I sometimes forego in favour of poetic freeflow.

A Drop of Tear (1993)
Grief, when it finds my heart too small;
Colossal joys when cannot be contained;
Things of joy when return to my mind;
When songs and tunes long forgotten,
Yet which were by me held dear,
Are caught again by my ear,
Then people discerning my tear
Point and shout, “Behold! he cries”.
