RAINDROPS FALL AROUND YOU (a poem about me)

Raindrops fall around you,

until the puddles meet the sky.

But as the water rises

your sun begins to shine.

a glow emerges from within

of inside your rosen cheeks

A glimmer emerges from your eyes

and they begin to speak.

For here you stand inside a world

without the means to cope;

you've been abandoned and left to die

but still hang on to hope.

The blood of kings and the blood of Gods

still run inside your veins

you stand so tall as tall as Cain

though around you still it rains.

Now it's time for that storm of yours to finally meet its end

and for the world you'd knew to start anew and once again make sense.

So you draw your sword and use its ward

to successfully escape the depths

Then you blaze your way and traverse the Earth,

just to hold her breast to breast.

Hmm... those last 6 lines have been reworked several times into what they are now, may change them yet. I feel like packing it into 4 lines like I did originally but... I can't see how to do that perfectly yet.

Initially it was an... almost japanese styled poem but I had to make it more me, I couldn't resist. So, here's what it might have been.

Randrops fall around you,

the puddles meet the sky.

Even as the water rises

the sun begins to shine.

A glow from within

your rosy cheeks

a glimmer from your eyes,

they begin to speak.

Here you stand inside a world

without means to cope

abandoned and left to die

still, you hang on to hope.

The blood of kings and the blood of Gods

still run inside your veins

you stand so tall, as tall as Cain

around you still it rains.

Now it's time for the storm to end

for the world to again make sense

you draw your sword and escape the depths

you hold her breast to breast.
