COME HOME

It's starting to rain now . . .
and your still not here . . . 
What will it take?
For me to disappear? 
The pitter patter of each rain drop leaves . . . 
a mark on my heart that only you can retrieve.


I sit in Silence . . .
As each raindrop falls.
Sitting, silently, waiting for your call.


The wind howls and blows through my window.
The trees laugh as they are courted to dance.
Waiting to be gently swayed to their music . . .
Searching my heart for more than chance.


Echo's of you, haunt my nightmares.
Vision's of you appear whilst awake.
Hoping you'll find your way to me . . .
Will never be a mistake.


It stopped raining now . . . If only for a little while.
I shall never pass this way again, My heart doth say.
Time wasted . . waiting for you now . . .
My heart doth wait.
