A Uniformed Drop Poem by Kristin Nicole RothDavis

A uniformed drop
catches a flare,
a reflection.
Rainbow colors
swirled throughout.
Slowly it falls,
stretching towards its end.
A wealth of promise
carried in its weight.
Its beauty tempting,
enticing thoughts
of perfection.

Shimmering silver,
it hovers for a moment,
stopping time.
Until, Inevitably…
it breaks free,
gaining momentum
as it tumbles.
Guided by gravity,
opposed by air.
Its changing shape,
a testament
to this paradox.

A single drop
catches a reflection.
Rainbow colors
swirled throughout.
Slowly it falls,
stretching towards its end.
A wealth of promise
carried in its weight.
Its beauty tempting,
enticing thoughts
of perfection.

Shimmering silver,
it hovers for a moment,
stopping time.
Until, Inevitably…
it breaks free,
gaining momentum
as it tumbles.
Guided by gravity,
opposed by air.
Its changing shape,
a testament
to this paradox.

Finally it lands...

Scattering into
a thousand drops.
Its truth finally revealed,
as it eats through
a warriors armor,
Beauty exposed for all,
Methodically it begins
to infect your heart,
Fulfilling its true agenda,
to poison your life.

Foreordained,
my souls venom.
