    About this ebook

    My name Michael J. Falotico and I have been a fan of music more than Poetry growing up. But my love for lyrics and the inspiration of Lennon and McCartney as poets and musicians gave me a love for words to express my own life experiences. To all those who passed through my life and either stayed or moved on, you were an inspiration

      THE BEAUTY OF THE RAIN

      As the sunlight hides our dreams cascade . . .

      Floating clouds over the world we made . . .

      Raindrops dance on naked wings . . .

      Sounds whisper as passion sings . . .

      A pulse felt without a touch . . .

      Like a kiss caught from my clutch . . .

      Held tight as lips embrace . . .

      While hands speak, and hearts race . . .

      We savor the taste and feel from the rain . . .

      As two bodies pour from what remains . . .

      LOVE CONQUERS HATE
