Raindrop




Watch it settle on your window pane like it had always been there
Staring wide eyed at you in transparent pleasure

Watch it tremble just a shade
As it holds on tight with baby fingers

Watch it stick its nose on the cool flat glass - beckoning you

Watch it glow.

Watch it wish away the world outside till it's lost in wet white haze

and then

watch it weep for every blow you drew
watch it laugh at every dream you grew
watch it spit out every thought you knew

watch it

reach you
teach you
beseech you

watch it

watch it watching you.

you are already beckoning the rains...and we just started with summer...damn neat though :)

That apart, after tussling with the monster (read exams) I am now back to my valiant (read lazy) self :) And I am now justling out this force of inertia within me to keep me moving ;)

This is both haunting and sportive. They've been watching me constantly for the last month.

Stop staring at me, you pervvs.- Raindrop

On a more umm, mature note, that was a wonderful creative. Loved every word of it. Think I'm gonna up your link on my blog in a day or two. If you don't mind, that is.
