Lovely Things

Drip-drop goes so many things, 
says waterfall tears and Lovely Things, 
try to hold tight while mussel stings, 
an attempt too great for Lovely Things.  

A whisper contests to never give up,
"Chin up buttercup, 
my mussels aren’t weak, 
my grip is strong 
I shall hold on for you, 
take a swim in the sea your fall has created.“

You emerge to see shimmers belated,
from drip-drops that fall from Lovely Things.  
Difference now is drops no longer fall from sad eyes, 
but off the flesh to Lovely’s surprise.

Drip-drop goes so many things, 
says lovers embrace and Lovely’s release,  
a vision new, 
so clear and explicit, 
drip-drops that Lovely can never excuse.
