Stay

Poem

 

Stay; lie here beside me, wrapped in us.

 

How softly the rain falls in the night

 Washing away the day’s grime and dust.

How softly your touch falls on my heart

Washing away my disease of distrust.

 

Breathe deep the rain scent with delight,

For in its freshness a wonderful new start.

Breathe deep our scent of spent passion

 Knowing love will exist come the light.

 

Feel the raindrop’s balm on the dark air

So cool and healing in its own fashion.

Feel my teardrops fall on your shoulder

 So thankful am I to lay feelings bare.

  

Listen to how smoothly the rain falls

 In its own time without being rushed.

Listen to how tenderly my heart calls

 Requesting you to come a little closer.

 

Stay; lie here beside me, wrapped in us.
