Raindrops

It's lost in the title.

The abrupt word
Has fallen
From my lips
The rash gesture
The rose
Sent too soon

I walk home
In rain
Watch the thick drops
Splashing into puddles

I hear the splash
Echo
I know full well
That I will sleep
Alone

Restless, I wander
The maze
Of dreams
Asleep
I toss and turn
Till dawn

Waking
I feel her kiss
Pressed
Upon my naked
Chest

Then her light
Flees
Into the rising sun

I rise to meet her
To hold in metaphor
What in reality
Can never
Be mine
