A near likeness is rain, in shape and emotional wear the drops are the same, but raindrops refract light in a miraculous show, was there ever a teardrop rainbow?
I am standing here on the other side of your tears, you can see me if you dare, I know you are looking for I feel the emotional power that heaves in you.
I am standing on the other side of your tears and you know I cannot leave. © I.D. Carswell 2007

This poem is just a damn good and original idea. The title really says it all. The poem just makes sure we get the title.

You got it in one Don - it comes from the expression 'blinded by tears' which are not blinding at all, although the emotion implied might!

i thoroughly enjoyed this, Ivan, though you might hate me next .. because i wonder if S1 is necessary? i know there is that connection with the catchphrase, but in terms of the poem's own identity, i'm not sure it needs it?

Shell, sorry for the late response, I'm really on top of the game! Hate you - nay, actually I agree, S1 is a cautionary tale for novices. The poem was originally intended for a specific audience but I got academically sidetracked. Yes, it could and would survive quite adequately.
