I collected my tears
In a dry coconut shell.
You know They glittered in the sunshine.
My tears are diamonds.

oh my! it's straight from your heart! can read your mind dear Tony! 10++++
A story of love in its many forms and needs transcending the boundaries of conformity and status.
very emotional and I wonder why would you gather your dreams in thin plastic bag
A truly deep emotional write. I thank you for sharing this wonderfully written poem Dr. Theodore.
Truly amazing of a young one who's love so pure can see the embrace of love. Lovely poem.
Beautiful imagery and a very creative story with a sad ending but the princess gave in a kind and caring way before the king showed how cruel life can be but the princess is the one you will always remember! Superb write! !
Thank you for inviting me to read this poem.Truly remarkable! I salute you!
hey, tony! my first time reading this, my first time that i remember reading something of yours that made me wonder if it came in a dream. what mainly stands out to me is the memory of the princess. a single act of kindness can rise like a mountain from the sea of mundane or bad memories, can be a beacon in darkness. -glen
Wow this do tell a story not everyone would understand your pains nor dreams, the ones who do would love you for it and those who won't would ask for your head. Thanks Dr. Antony Theodore for sharing it was inspirational
The princess saw the tears and dreams as the gifts of love but some do not. A complex story beautifully told, a parable. Tom billsborough
This is what poor people have to go through in life. Dreaming big is a sin for them.Very nice.
Tony! it is so stirking! so painful! My mom was ill not so long ago and I feel your pain freshly now. your poem reminded me Brodsky's poem - when he sent a tear as a diamond in a ring for his bride (he never married his first love) .
Simple. In Heaven there will be stories told of astonishing earthly experiences that may thrill unsuspecting heavenly beings...and this story will be one.
Do you remember it because it was just a dream? Or do you remember it because death is not the end, but only the beginning of a new story? Great poem filled with vivid imagination and suspense! Liked it a lot!
it truly can arise our delicate feelings, and Woolf said thatthe very reason why that poetry excites one to such abandonment, such rapture, is that it celebrates some feeling that one used to have, so that one responds easily, familiarly, without troubling to check the feeling, or to compare it with any that one has now.yours bring us to the same kind of childhood tears and dreams and always easily sad imaginations, thanks a lot
What an incredible poem! Love for a dying mother. Fantasy love for the princess. Jealousy and evil from the king. And at the center of it all is innocence. Excellent write, Tony. Thank you for the invite.
