Tim Smith Poet Free verse

Tenderness

Rushes to the window

 with every pitter-patter

but it is only the rain

crashing into me

trying to wash away my pain

reminding of sunny days

where the pitter-patter

was the beating of my heart

where love was never sought

but happily was found

my heart breathes 

feeling once more

your tenderness

pitter-patters run across

the oaken hardwood floors

and I see in her  your smile

your love

your heart

The rain and my tears fall 

yet I know

most go a lifetime without true love

but no not me

my heart goes pitter-patter

one last time

butterflies float away into my soul

and I remember

I loved you
