A Raindrop Falls

The raindrop just hovered on the gutter
As if deciding to stay or fall
And somewhere secret behind a shutter
So lost in passion, his name she'll call
And like the shadows just fluttering by
By candlelight the moth will dance
The minutes, so long gone, the time to fly
Entrapped desire, a Lover's trance
And still the raindrop pure, just hanging there
So crystal clear, this translucent sphere
For who, what world within, without a care
The light refracts, rainbow's colours here
A tear of Love, set free, the raindrop falls
And in the distance, lone lovebird calls

Damn. This is just fine writing, Michael. You conveyed nature's grace and identity, and along with that you gave us passion in the form of a teardrop and lovebirds. Impressive write.

This is such wonderful traditional poetry, something we all need to get back to from time to time to realize the joys of the craft.

Love this line..

" A tear of Love, set free, the raindrop falls"

Enjoyed.

Eric

true love never looks after it's own interests
