I own two bicycles because I still pine for you <br />Alma, <br />Even while you make love this evening, even while you <br />Turn out all of the hope in your lighthouse, <br />So you cannot see my beauty drowning, <br />While during the day your eyes seem like brown <br />Maelstroms swirling with your breath, <br />Devouring the young heroes far more beautiful than me; <br />And still you accept my dreams and my bouquets, <br />While now all of the flowers are getting smaller as I too <br />Shrink, <br />Soon I will be so diminished as to be in danger of drowning <br />In a single tear drop, <br />Which is all that I wish from you.<br /><br />Robert Rorabeck<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-single-tear-drop-2/
