Droplets

Crystal drops of effervescent reality-simple pleasures,

Like watching the droplets fall

In shining, shimmering, sinful rain

Their caress a lover’s lips against warm skin

Cool and damp

They send shivers down your spine

Alighting with the weight of fragile moths

To roll down your dimpled cheek in drops like tears

Tears of ecstasy, euphoria, pleasure or pain

They fall winking in the gray light

Pattering onto the asphalt

Splashing sweetly into rivulets and sun into the sea

Glimmering dully like diamonds that are still half coal
