A Drop of Water Charlz Dela Cruz

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
