Designated Rain

Those designated raindrops
the sky must have saved for two
I kissed you in the daisy field 
the rain soaked us through and through

Together we ran for shelter
moving quickly to the barn
I was thankful for those raindrops
as we hastened arm in arm

Sure the sky had coaxed us
to pleasure it opened the door
The sweet smell of hay around us
made me want you more and more

Those designated raindrops
pounded loudly on ancient wood
We removed all our wet clothing
I said we shouldn’t you said we should

As I gazed upon your beauty
my true passion became proof
Designated rain brought us together
 Tap, tap, tapping on the roof.



Thanks to Elsa Rosee, her title “Designated Raindrops” inspired this piece.
