Music Of The Raindrops

Rain-drops making music in the wintery night

While in a warm embrace I hold you tight

In the light of glowing embers of fire

I listen to you long sighs of desire

Your cheeks are red and winter skin so fair

I hold you close and play my fingers in your hair

With warmth in each other's eyes, we glance

To the music of falling raindrops, we dance

*****

Raindrops falling outside my window

Sound like faint distant drums in slow tempo

My heart beats slow and wobbly

Singing a song in melancholy

I long for you and ache in sorrow

Trying to hold back my tears, I cry slow

Falling raindrops strike the notes of agony and pain

Making on this wintery night a song with sad strain
