Oh what a challenge, and it was too hard for me it really was. I'll seek retribution dear heart you'll see                      


             Teardrops The Rain Of The Soul

Each teardrop is the rain of the soul
Each teardrop is the rain of the soul
When hearts break not remain whole, remain whole
When hearts break not remain whole, remain whole
Each heart breaks rains tears in the soul
When souls’ teardrops remain whole

Catch the silently falling tears
Catch the silently falling tears
When truth dies and love disappears, love disappears
When truth dies and love disappears, love disappears
Falling tears when love disappears
When truth dies silently fall tears

Teach the heart to sing again
Teach the heart to sing again
Once its ready to release the pain, release the pain
Once its ready to release the pain, release the pain
Teach the heart to release pain
Once it’s ready to sing again

Catch the falling teardrops of the soul
When truth and hearts are full of rain
Love disappears and hearts are not whole
Teach the soul to sing once again
When silently falling tears disappear
Love will sing released from tears

Slushy, Mushy,
I knew you could do this standing on your ear (probably so I couldn't poke the words in) and you went beyond even what I expected! Superb.
write on

nicely done.

what happened to all the love poetry on the boards? ...everybody's in love all at the same time and now everybody's sad and losing love all at the same time?

sounds like an epidemic... LOL

enjoyed the read.

oh... and i forgot to say this (coming back to edit)

WOW!!!


hehe

Kari love, yes it is you slave driver you! It took ages, well, about an hour anyway, and I had no idea even after I'd done it if it was right. It's like a Chinese puzzel, yea Gods dear heart you don't expect more work surely. I enjoy reading them but NOT to work on them. And anyway I've got a note of excuse (or I will have after I've written it)
Take care love
              Majestic stretched Marsha
                          
Poeminister, thank you so very much, but don't say that, Kari will think I can do more.  
Take care love
                  Mushy
                    
Paula love, oh you are soooooo sweet, and such a fibber, all I can say is I did it, and now I don't have to again. (Thank you so very much love)
Take care love
                   Mushy
                      
Sven love, you too dear heart? Please I have a....... well, actually I don't know what I have as an excuse but I promise it will be a good one. And who do I have to bribe so I don't have to produce another one. Can't I leave the hard stuff to you professionals, pretty please ? !! I'm only an amateur   (if i give you my best smile will that work? or do I have to offer more? All youngsters please ignore this attempt on my part at bribery and corruption)
Thank you love
Take care
                 Mushy
                    
Marsha exits stage right looking for 'more' for Sven. Or I would but there's a few more replies to do. But as soon as I finish I'll go and find it xx

Kethry dear heart, it's no use you thinking I'll not plot revenge, because you know by now I've returned a challenge. And I know you won't be able too love. (I shall be cock a hoop!) thank you love, and as i said not an ounce of mercy love. Na na na na naaaa                     
Take care love
               Slushy
YES!!!!!
                  
Pepper love, you too, this was like torture, it's soooooooo hard. It really is, a stretch is one thing this was hard work love. It truly was.
Thank you anyway, you traitor you, don't say that it was good, I'll be expected to do this again!!
Take care love
                    Mushy
                      
Doreen love, I did the first thing that came into my head, I wasn't going to wait for any more ideas to come that were happy love. I might have been there for another hour. And I didn't have that long a break. Thank you love it is appreciated. Undeserved but appreciated.
Take care love
                  Mushy

Well you passed me up in your growth because these still escape me and you should not make it your last as your first one was wonderful.

Mark my friend, they totally escape me, this is as far as I'm concerned my swan song of Pararella do do. They are sheer hard work, never my favourite occupation. And I only did this because if I didn't Kethry threatened me with ear poking. Since I have never had it happen I'm almost certain it would involve something unpleasant. But I'm sure if you wish to try them you would be able to manage them. The repetition helps, I think, but get someone who understands them to show you.
Anyway I'm certain that you could come up with something. Since it's my day for retribution, and your reply is bound to add fuel to Kari's burning desire to make me work. I offer you this challenge, a Paradelle, and no cheating like I did the first time either. (Which wasn't a paradelle but raised a smile!) and the subject is Justice
Take care love
