Courtship
nervously sitting
in the theatre next to him
thighs almost touching
–
peacocks
dancing in the
monsoon rains
Category Archives: Rain
Humanity
black and blue and bruised
pinned to the ropes but fighting
for our very souls
–
a hard rain
drenches all
with no regard
Shadows
falling amber rain
collecting in brackish pools
under a street light
–
a moment
flash lit raindrops
suspended in time
Avoidance
in grape arbor
a cardinal seeks shelter
from the driving rain
–
secluded
deep within
my wine glass
Transience
jewels of morning dew
in a spider’s web, sunrise
scattered by diamonds
–
dawn
captured on
a silken thread
Downstream
strong flowing rivers
carry meadows and mountains
away to the sea
–
april rains…
roaring brooks
become brethren
Deluge
a flash of lighting
tears the fabric of the night
letting in the rain
–
wet brilliance
slicing through
shadows
Drenched
after the rain storm
mossy scent of wet pavement
steaming in the heat
–
suddenly
heavy raindrops
bursting
Anger
a cold rain shower
washes down my upturned face
hiding bitter tears
–
cloudy
dark and moody
raining together
Gathering
gentle drops of rain
darken the soil in prelude
to the coming storm
–
afternoon mizzle
darkening clouds
on the horizon
