She gazes outside
through the glass, past the swaying trees
at the falling rain
Rain as cold as the tears on her cheeks
She weeps, without a sound
not knowing exactly why
And yet she cries
with every small tear falling slowly, slowly
Slowly down her soft face

And then he comes
He sees her sitting so quietly
all alone with no one
No one to wipe her tears away

He sits beside her
She is still looking forward
staring at the rain and nothing else
He brushes away her falling tears with a gentle hand
She takes her gaze off the pouring rain
and fixes it upon him

He leans in and embraces her in love

The rain stops falling
The heavens open up and the sun shines through
littering their faces with streaks of light
She smiles, and again begins to cry
But these tears are not of sadness;
they are pure and filled with joy.


Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.

HEy!!!!!! Yes well for some odd reason i had a very vivid picture in my head of what was going on while reading this. It was so sad at first but then happy in the end. Nice poem cutie pie mamasita.....keep it up.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Now night arrives with her purple legions
Retire now to your tents & to your dreams
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth
I want to be ready. - JM

Great work, I liked this one. I think this poem would sound especially good read aloud.

love, Virgin Suïcide


I dream about how it's gonna end

Living a life of fear
I only want my mind to be clear...
