Raindrops

I search for your smile, in

the crowded streets

tonight.

While raindrops soak

the wretched clothes I wore

at your funeral.

Twilight creeps nearer.

The darkness searches for

a hiding place,

while shadowy creatures creak 

in every corner

of my mind.

The rainbow being long gone.

A skyfall with velvet drops

of glass -

shattering into millions

when they touch upon

the pavement.

                        

Admiring the wet embrace,

as it conceals any sign

of grief.

And simultaneously

Shuts me out from

my inner demons.

Feeling the electricity turning

inside the body, which once

was mine.

And being forced to remember

the whispers in my ear – the caresses

of my naked neck. 

Sensing you near me

as when we made love

on the hardwood floor.

Evolving into an extension of

your soul - even

your heart.

Being the puzzle piece, I

remain in place. I remain in the rain.

For now.

Well knowing; that you will search and find

me

Being perfectly perfect

For you.
