Character Poems: the Chosen Through Time
5. Tachikawa Mimi
Tears fell –
hovering on eyelashes
before dropping free
without restraint
Too easily, but hearts
melted at the sight of them
and she looked all the more beautiful
result
Because her eyes welled with
dry stinging air
highlighting her eyes with
bright lipstick red
But the tears, she realised,
were real through and through
even if there were less of them
as time wore on.
Was her heart hardening then
in maturity? Or something else
that changed in her
as she grew
Because vibrations she barely
heard before, were now,
resonating
blaringly loud, in her ear.
Somehow, the rain was all the more
valuable when it didn't
pour each day.
