Drop of Love – A Poem from Peru
Ramina Herrera Arteaga, an eminent poetess from South American country shares her poem

A drop of love makes a difference that tips the balance
Drop of Love
A drop of love
Makes a difference that tips the balance
Brightness or darkness in eyes
Concave or convex crimson lips
Walk or dance in the middle of the street
Drown your name or shout it out loud.
A drop of love
Brand
A tattoo
In the soul
That remembers
Beauty
Or add
In nostalgia
A drop of love stamps lines
On snowy ink starved paper
Hungry for words that girdle a heart
Or temporarily turn off the light in your marrow
Sacred center of the divine essence
Where it resides in the soul … which is everlasting.
