Silver
Silver raindrops fall down.
The sky is crying joyfully
The fragrance left behind is blissful;
lilac, cherry blossom, sweet pea.
I remember sticking a thermometer
in a pot of boiling water.
A sudden 'ding!' as the thermometer breaks,
silver liquid escaping into the pot.
Smile at me,
won't you please?
I want to see your perfect,
not quite white, not quite straight teeth.
Tell me something
I didn't know.
I want to hear your liquid,
silver voice, bubbling in my ears.
I wish I could catch my breath
enough to say something back.
I don't think you're boring.
You leave me speechless.
I'm just afraid that silver liquid
will cover everything.
