RAINDROPS

Raindrops on my pillows

Thunder rumbling in the heavens

Dark gray clouds and lightening

Life can be frightening 

But all too exciting to miss

The first kiss was good

And puppy love had flavor

It was different from these days

We made love in many ways and didn't spoil the sheets

Paying very little attention

We made our ascension and enjoyed something sweet

Like meat after a vegetation diet

One just can't be quiet while devouring 

With oohs and ahhs 

Parted lips and dropped draws

Like the satisfaction of a win

Life is filled with many things 

 Joy and pain 

Love and hate

Yet still we anticipate

A world out of balance

With love and comfort only 

Where you don't have to compromise to eat

And little children can roam the fields fearlessly

Dreaming beyond our galaxy

Getting lost in their fantasies

Creating beauty from the palate of their minds

We may feel like it would be ideal

But trouble stretch us and teach us

Life would be empty without growth

What are our lessons worth

Or do they make wisdom worthy of us

The human spirit finished triumphant and glorious

We fight till we are victorious

Without the fight there can be no victory

I am trying to solve this mystery called life

Before I go down in history 

A disgruntled mans wife

A tool used and then discarded

And left to watch the raindrops

falling on my pillows...
