hey Anna, you like these words because the carry a load of feelings in minimum words -the Urdu poetry style.
Cat, these feelings are universal. Hence so many people can identify themselves with ease. Thanks for your bubbling comments, both ladies !
Cheerio!

This is great, Max. I especially like the "drops...distilled from heaven."

Keep it up Max. The style and expression is refreshing when we are so often covered in a landslide of meaningless words

Bhaiya ji, This is intoxicatingly enjoyable. The vessel
from which the wine flows is very special for sure!

Max, I remember this! This poem is like weeping for joy. Misery and suffering are relating antithetically to the hope for joy and comfort. We must bear pride in the knowledge of our compassion. Great, just wonderful as usual.

Oh, Max. I do so envy the ability to express so much so beautifully in so few words! Bless you, my friend.

I will always think of these words whenever I'm on the water on summer-soaked-in-grey-clouds days. Thank you for putting feelings into beautiful words.

There's a word for this...I've forgotten my high school English...is it hyperbole? The sun curled up like a guilty dog. Fantastically descriptive metapors.

What attracted me to this piece was the title: Sparkling words. I love that adjective when it goes with words, everytime I hear it...so you're talking about a writer?

Yes Cami, very astute guess.
Cheerz!

The work itself has the feel of rain - which is what you aimed for.
