rushing waters fall
as of sweet rhythmic curtains,
draping moss and stone

The pitter-patter of drops drum
to the beat of a broken heart.
As rain turns a sunny day, glum,
the pitter-patter of drops drum.
And we fear there is more to come,
waiting for the sunshine to start.
The pitter-patter of drops drum
to the beat of a broken heart.

Waiting for the...

Pitter patter, drip, drop, it’s not an April shower
Drip, drop, drip, drop raining hour after long hour
Suddenly the sun streaks through, javelins of sunlight
Then back to pitter, patter, and rain throughout the night.

In and out of doorways, trying to stay dry
Thunder crashing the Queens dead,...

Pitter patter on my window
                  sun shine bright
Make me a rainbow to last through the night...

I once met a Spanish high flyer
She wiggled and danced on a wire
Her pitter once pattered
Grew ninety pounds fatter
And now she sings bass in a choir.

Evoke and pray to Gods Varun* and Indra*
And to Apollo not to go on long vacation
Play hide and seek with the earth as kids do
And bring a rainbow with its rich colors to see.

Do not bring mausim** in excess
Even Nectar consumed in excess
Or any overdose...

The rain is falling
Pitter Patter
I sit on my porch and rock
My Pinot noir slips and shatters
The angry winds mock

I retrieve my lighter from the kitchen
Foolishly expecting to smoke
The enraged wind is full of tension
A gush of rain blew in to soak

My face wore a blank...

The pitter-patter of the raindrops

When storm clouds come rolling in and lightning fills the sky
And the wind begins to blow as the sun waves its’ own goodbye
The pitter-patter of the raindrops as they begin dancing in the street
Not caring where they fall and not caring...

Pitter-Patter on my Heart

Do not believe that your size in any way
diminishes the depth of my affection for you.
Some may say you are mere eating-pooping machines
but ever since you traipsed into my life a year ago
you’ve been pitter-pattering high and low
weaving circles all around my...

The Pitter-Patter of Rain 

I sit here on the porch listening, 
Watching the rain in the night.
Pitter-patter on my roof, 
I thought about all I have gained,
Over all these years of life,

As all I have lost and gone,
As if water washed it all away,
Oh maybe...

Pitter patter little feet
  come to take a little peek.
Come to seek
  my pain to eat.
Filling up with every weep.


Pitter patter come with me
  look upon and you will see
all the pain that's inside me.
  

Pitter patter runs and leaves

Pitter Patter, pitter patter, pitter patter; I heard the sound of tiny feet
I turned around only to see the biggest spider you ever want to meet

If things couldn't be worse than to meet a spider that was that grand
With three pairs of gaited shoes and...

Woke up this morning to the pitter patter of raindrops
Thought it was your heart beating next to mine
But alas, it was only the raindrops beating on my window sill
That had given me false hope of your presence
When I reached out you weren't there

So sad ..So...

The grey boy wrinkles in the hands of greater things, wrinkles up like paper, Hands on 
knees and knees on chin, the wrinkled boy trembles in the hand of his mind. The room is 
dark, there is no light, and all he sees are shades...

pitter
patter
goes the
rain
upon
the roofs
upon the
streets
upon the
heads
of us all
walking
in the
west
to our
nearest 
grocery 
store or
convenient 
store
with our
common
human
thirst
coming 
from the
daily 
grind, yet
our own
exertion
here is 
absolutely
nothing 
like that of
the people
in the lands
far far away,
whose 
resources we
have become
experts
at squeezing
every last drop
into our cars
into our products
into our lives
& now back into
our 
bodies
as...
