Pandora's Prayer Poem by Sonny Rainshine

Pandora's Prayer

Rating: 5.0


Frozen tears, frozen tears,
diamonds, tear-dropp pearls.

Tears aflame, tears aflame,
garnets, rubies, red quartz.

Sad tears, blue tears,
sapphires, sad sapphires.

Jealous tears, envious tears,
chinese jade, emeralds.

Here, take this key,
this seal, this solder of gold.

Lock the jewel-case
of sorrows,
this repository
of aching hearts

and liquify the key.

Picturing our tears as so many different jewels...all for a different emotion, I love this! Great image! Sincerely, Mary

What's with the double-p, PoemHunter? Fine if you're spelling Mississippi, but distracting whenever you need to wax poetic on tear-dropps.
