A Million Raindrops

by harlon-rivers

There must have been a million raindrops falling down hard Loud drops plummeting from the place where the sky overflows The seemingly infinite pitter patter painfully counted one by one Noir moments impinged beyond a rainy night: Splashes splatter, showers flood torrentially, Shards of water blind the befogged windowpanes, Catching the candle light’s dull flicker Upon the sway to the heartwood of the rain sodden trees But underneath it all, there's this heart Nobody really knows ― unborn and alone Waves of silent reverie seize firmly a fragile heart, Only learning to grasp the soul’s most poignant sensibilities Wrought fifty shades of melancholy blue Dreaming with eyes wide open to see you tiptoeing around me Bereft of touching as we reach for love As if it were a moment we could hold But I'll reach to you from where time just can't go In that beloved moment leading the way back into my dreams Broken silence roused the moment's ache With a boisterous sigh, the daunting fading murmurs Of unspoken breath cogently exhaled Hallmarks  of a secret place no one else can go,.. One drop at a time… © harlon rivers ... all rights reserved

Notes

Post Script:                                                                                       .

There are memories reawakened in the rain

I've been there, and here in a moment

that let me back in ... leading the way back to let it be

― this poem is like a way back, a process...

it took along time to get back here ―

even though a moment by its true nature, cannot last

like a million raindrops on a lonely winter night,

serially comes to pass

.
