Copious Rain Passion, it swarms as the froth of an ocean's language -- spelling its tide along the beach of want and need. And as the sand absorbs its life, so do I -- sponging with each breath -- swallow the gems she lays upon my shore. From the life in her tears -- copious drops of rain from the heart's cloud -- I know both sorrow and joy. Without her -- life has no definition, the sun appears as a glare only hindering my sight. With her -- the sun warms each cord, composing a song of clarity. Each day birthing a vision of gold bands, their weight never overbearing -- their chain never tarnished. Robert Joseph ~enb~ |

And as the sand absorbs its life, so do I -- sponging with each breath -- swallow the gems she lays upon my shore. Look within the heart of a poet, and you will see a reflection of their soul. |

I enjoyed this piece. Water, in all its elemental forms (ocean, rain, tears, dew, etc.) has long been a source of inspiration for metaphorical poetry of love and restoration of life. You've employed it eloquently in this impressive poem. Very sweet writing. Thank you ~ Rainydays |
