Rain Drop Fetish

 When the Earth's sad clouds cry crystal

as it palpates the ground

I smell the Earth smile

the drop on the leaf blade

trying to embrace the ground

moves with celerity on the leaf's surface

As it magnifies the green

the trees and plants radiate

their true self

And as the wind gushes through the green

the drops gravitate to seek my touch

with my eyes closed and arms wide open

I stand there waiting for the crystals to palpate my skin

feeling them make way down my groove 

and swirl in my button

I feel spasms of pleasure and chills running

down my spine.
