Drops of Rain

Falling in and out of love is like the coming and going of a storm.

I fall in love at the drop of rain.

It starts as a spattering spray on the sidewalk.
Then quickly, suddenly, pours down.

Soaking, drenching, consuming
my body and soul.

Water drops flying into my eyes
blinding me to the world around myself.

The downpour casades upon me
Harder and Harder

Until

I am trembling, shivering
shaking with seizures in the flood
Chilled to the core of my being
Drowning in the river of love.

Until

I taste the rainbow
sweet and filling.

And then...
as suddenly as the storm arose
it blows away.

Drip Drop Drizzle Drip Drip

The shower passes
As does my love

Until

The next unexpected drop of rain.
