Last night
A tear fell heedlessly
Upon my hand...
A strange, clear drop
Of grief.
There, as a jewel it shone...
And only I could know
That in its depth
Was held
The reflection
Of your face.

That was really well written.

I love how concise and yet how powerful this one short stanza is.

Short and simple, but with more meaning than I could ever fit into a few sentences like you do. Loved it. Especially the "reflection of your face" in the tear
