I am the raindrop
That falls on her
Cheek in the drizzle
I cool her hot face
Troubled by betrayal
*
I am a raindrop
On his rail
I observe him reading
The papers, his reactions
His annoyance,
His anger
*
I am a raindrop
That adorns the rose
He bequeaths his lover
Her smile is magnified
A thousand fold on
My still surface
*
I am a raindrop
That has fallen
From the first rain
Evaporated and returned
To the sky in the clouds
Countless times before
*
I’ve been thorough the
Labyrinths of Venice
Drunk by great kings and queens
I’ve washed many heads
And fallen from waterfalls
*
I’ve seen men at their height of power
I’ve seen the many that fell
I’ve seen love, hurt, happiness
And a myriad of human emotions
*
I’ve been in wars
I saw men fight in the
Name of God, honour and country
I fell like tear drops as
Their souls rose up like smoke
And into the unknown
*
I’ve been a lot of places
Seen thrice as many people
Perhaps I’ve seen you
Maybe someday soon
So next time the heavens burst
Think of me
