"waterdrops" poems
Naive little waterdrops never knew
What they were, what they could do
Upon their downfall they saw the sun
The sun shone bright and magic spun
A band of colours poured from the drops
Exquisite scenery high above the crops
Bright old sun had till then just burned
It saw then the rainbow the drops had churned
It saw its own reflection in the colours that appeared
It saw itself caring when it had never cared
It made the water shine when it fell from its height
It showed the drops too their very own might
Dear old sun makes rainbows everyday
It still burns and still makes the drops gay
The water never fears and takes on the fates
As long as the sun shines, a rainbow awaits.

With a tracing of my dreams
I’ll draw for you
In the shapes of streams
And the sounds of seas
A lucid doodle
The colour of waterdrops
To show you where my world stops
And my bones begin.
I’ll take you to the place
Where my poems sing.

you smell like the rain,
a combination of
sweet and saltiness,
pleasantly musky
etched to your jacket,
on a cold, wet day.
you feel like the rain,
as our palms held and met,
I can feel your sweat form.
hold them tighter,
my heart feels tighter.
I think I'm the rain,
if not then explain,
why do I precipitate
waterdrops from my eyes,
or listen to my heartbeat
pounding loudly like
cats and dogs,
and my sight is fogged
I'm waiting for the
someone sunnier than I do
where I can form
new love again.

it strikes my body like lightning
it fills my veins with the blood that flows
when i see chests fall and jump, i apprehend existence
ensconced on the floor, i think forevermore
my bloodstream is full of the faces i won't see again
hair pulled back; why aren't you hiding?
you let the sun gleam on your skin; you are you
waterdrops on leaves, that little bugs drink
a trembling hand holding another
stars twitching in the sky, the moonlight your silhouette
fireworks exploding in the sky
hearts melting, delightful sighs
candlelight surviving through the night
i'm losing my mind
introspection consumes me whole
i'm in a maze, my sight is hazed

Fireworks
the sky was lit up
mirrored in my eyes; for a moment
mirrored in my eyes, and then they die
leaving stars that look colder than they did before
lingering moments of silence
the smoke lays heavy in the air
ringing in my ears; running down my cheeks
the smell of one thousand people running,
covering their heads
one thousand waterdrops running
towards the sea;
mirrored in my eyes, running down my cheeks
one thousand tears running
towards the sea,
falling to their knees;
The River Never Heals

waterdrops
they fall off leaves
after a cold winters storm
the broken branches, a reminder of the harsh weather
teardrops
they fall off my cheeks
after a cold night alone
the broken pieces of my heart remind me i'm alive
blooddrops
they fall down her skin
after another soul shattered
the cuts, a reminder she's alone
teardrops
they stream down my cheeks
as the one i love, leaves again
another shattered soul, falls to the ground
waterdrops
dripping from leaves
on the day they got married
this broken soul flourishes again

Steam and humidity
Fogs up the mirror
The musky scent of my shampoo fills the room
Waterdrops beat against my head
Sound softened by my scented hair
Music plays from across the room
Water skids down my flesh
I sit and think
About you
And wash away
Bad memories
I scrub
My skin
Until the hot water burns
