Dutch Tears

Just a drop
In the ocean
Pretty pearl of glass
Infinite reeling colours
 
Inside
In secret
you and I 
Pressed against 
each other
Tight
Heart wrenching
Beating
Cold quenching
Freezing
Strong feelings
inside
our
locked
embrace
 
A slightest crack in the wrong place
an explosive release
of rainbow shards
Would wink a blinding, binding last gasp  glimpse 
of all the colours 
we’d saved
With our love

(2015)

Dutch tears (or Prince Rupert's drops) are an interesting curiosity. Quenched drops of molten glass, they can be hit with a hammer, but snap the top off them and they explode in shards of glass due to the release of forces locked inside.
