Drops Of Rain Poem by Valsa George
Drops Of Rain
Into the horrid heat of my summer
You fall as drops of rain
The broken bangles I treasure
Fall down and crack into still smaller bits
In this Ravenous night
As I sit outside, all alone
Looking into the night sky
I see blinking stars here and there
And my memories swim
Around a starry eyed girl
My mind speeds like a steed to those days
That had the beauty and brilliance
Of the arching rainbows of the blue
And the glowing hues of peacock feathers
You were then the rhyme and rhythm of my life
The song and melody of my spirit
The symphony in my violin
The alluring dream of my nights
Once you got into my garden unbidden
Like a flitting butterfly
A leaping grasshopper
A honey sucking bee
A winging robin
When the breeze was hissing
When the flowers were nodding
And perched on my shoulder
I plucked for you a red, red rose
And you savoured its fragrance
That very day you became my friend
You spread a pervading aroma
That wafted into me with every gushing wind
You became the throb of my life
My singular passion
A rising flame
My heart’s silent language
The sole focus of my life
But without even a parting word
You left me to my fate
Now I am pushed into a desolate isle
Where loneliness comes to strangle me
And I feel so defenseless!
Here I struggle to elbow out
The train of wistful memories
And at my feet lies the withered rose
The sad reminder of a passion we once shared
Now I know love hurts, it hurts terribly
Leaving one so utterly vanquished
Won’t you come once again?
As my friend, nay as my soul mate
To be together for ever
And sit looking at each other from eye to eye!
In anticipation, I wait here
For the falling echo
Of your jingling footsteps!
Yes, I am in eternal wait!
Oh Balsa, this tugs at my heart and leaves me wishing you've ok n to gaze upon the eyes you miss. What a stirring poem, beautifully expressed as you do with such passionate talent. PEACE
this is marvelous! The words spiral and draw you in until you, like the speaker, become rapt in memories and lost love. Though every part of this is lovely, these lines are my favorite: In this Ravenous night As I sit outside, all alone Looking into the night sky I see blinking stars here and there And my memories swim Around a starry eyed girl I love the double entendre here with blinking stars and starry eyed girl such clever use of language! Also I love the idea of memory literally swimming around the girl. You've done it again, written a beautiful masterpiece! ~Nika
Now I know love hurts Leading to eternal wait with all the evidence still around. Beautiful poem. Thank you.
