To Be The Rain Such prophecy spends a final chime Lightly along the shag of uneven feelings As if my spirit has left vacant my body In echo and reverberation Late winter skies hold back their bounty Grown thick in cheeks held closed Sealed shut the opaque shroud of invisible tears But oh, to be the rain Falling softly in a shower that seeks you Wetting hidden spaces with fleeting dreams Making puddles that raise applause upon the flesh And dance in gentle rhythm Falling softly upon you, kisses that embark in stream Never ending on a journey to become the sea Become the dew washed over me Then cried in love so honestly Copyright Kkh 01/29/06 |

"Falling softly in a shower that seeks you Wetting hidden spaces with fleeting dreams Making puddles that raise applause upon the flesh And dance in gentle rhythm." This sent shivers down my spine, one of the most beautiful rain poems I've ever read! It's strange to be reading so many poems about rain and winter though.. down here, we're in the middle of one of the hottest summers ever! The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears. |

TD, this is a bit of a change for you, but I really like it. It is so deeply honest in its feel and I especially liked the last verse. ....jo |

every once in a while a poem comes along that I can visualize as though I were watching a high graphic film, or music video. This was one of them. |

"Sealed shut the opaque shroud of invisible tears" Oh, I love it, I love it! Just the imagery in this phrase, and all the others... it's so beautiful! |

Falling softly in a shower that seeks you Wetting hidden spaces with fleeting dreams "Making puddles that raise applause upon the flesh And dance in gentle rhythm Falling softly upon you, kisses that embark in stream Never ending on a journey to become the sea Become the dew washed over me Then cried in love so honestly" I so loved this...  "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |
