Like the Rain

Like the Rain

A Poem by Todd Mc' Callough

Like the rain, love may fall.

And when it does, it smudges
our withered hearts;
into fashioned silhouettes
of crystal glass.

And like a pane of frosty glass,
we are glistened away
under the swoop of her
angelic fingers; so crisp and frail.

And when love does,
it lingers..
Like the balm of sweat
after a thick day's spray.

It clutches to our skin,
yearning for more than what is
endeared upon the surface.
And so we relinquish all that resides within.

And like the rain, it comes not once,
but every time we see her rise.
Through a fog of misty night,
or in the thicket of a golden flame.

Though the clouds may steer the light,
it is the rain which feeds the earth.
And like the dew,
ferments our wanting soul.

Like the rain love may fall,
but it is the drop from heaven's door
that we cherish the most.

We do not concern ourselves
of what remains below.
We are too wrapped up
within her eyes.

Author's Note

Todd Mc' Callough
Just putting some emotions out there with no real intention of a rhyme scheme but I tried to make a connection flow through the words comparing rainfall to falling in love.
