Drowning the Ache

Small drops of water
    fall into my heart,
Each holds you
    tiny tastes of delicious love,
They fill me with hope
    of holding you in my arms,
Spilling over the rim
I drink you up,
    an unquenchable thirst,
to taste your love
    wet on my lips,
to feel your rain  
    as it falls softly upon my body,
        teasing on a hot summer day,
Salt of sweat
on the tip of my tongue
brings the need to drink desire
as your cool water runs over me
collecting low in my soul,
wanting to hold you
but to know that you are too much
as you fill me, tidewaters rise,
    surround my mind, drowning the ache,
the rain calls my heart home
