the rain beats down
small stinging kisses
the love/hate tears
you wish you could cry

the stones in your heart
gnash against each other
pushing for more room
crying "over! over!"

the fire in your brain
explodes in sparks around you
but you cannot burn the questions,
the jealousy, the demands

but the wind blows calm
and there, you can see
the one who brushes your cheek
and carries you home.

Portia,
yes you have got groupies! Well, at least one, I wouldn't miss any of your poems!
Anyway, as for this one, it is fantastic, as usual. It made me feel wet, hot, confused, bitter and then relieved. I thought the ending was happy. Am I dim??

loth, the ending is meant to be happy, or at least relieved. But if it is sad to Hardrock, who's to say it really isn't a sad ending?

Thank you all for your kind comments.
