**Don't cry** Poem of the Week, 10/31/2004
Winner: Poem of the Week: Oct 31, 2004
Don't Cry
A tear forms,
somewhere between leaving and a park bench
overlooking a midnight ocean and yesterdays farewell.
It rolls down, candle lit,
between pages of poetry sprawled across your gentle cheek
and navigates through memories
and pauses at streaks
to take note.
It rolls down, waterslide,
gliding past forgotten smiles,
wading around for a dimples sign
and rests heavily upon your lip
(where we last kissed)
The teardrop sits, quivering,
awaiting it's long leap.
Salting up a tale told tongue
remembering your blue eyes.
And as it falls, all is forgot.
No more streams to form
or waterslides.
It's lost it's grip to your soft skin.
It's gone...It's left...It's lonely too.
And as it splashes onto a page,
resting on a cluttered desk,
it lies...
looking up it says
don't cry.

Thank you very much, and I'm sorry my reply is so late.
I wasn't even planning on posting "Don't Cry". It was the first day of a fourteen day trip. My girlfriend emailed me telling me she was crying, so I wrote it for her to cheer it up. After I sent the email I thought I might as well post it and see what other people thought. Since I was away, I only had time to check my email, so I didn't now about it until I recieved an email telling me to check my oprivate messages, that's where I discovered I'd won.
Needless to say, my girlfriend loved it, and so it seems do most of you.
My Greatest of Thanks for this unexpected award.
