      It Rained


To-day it rained.

Like the skies had
opened up their patio doors
and persuaded heaven's tears
to join in matrimony
with the salty droplets
that refused to cease
spilling from my dispirited eyes.
The bloated, offending clouds
dried up with envy
of this surreal union,
and a blazing sun appeared
just long enough
to paint a rainbow
with the fervent colours
flowing like ribbons
from my melting heart.

To-day it rained.

Greeneyes, Thankyou for your comment. I just read your lovely poem about rain...lol....what different thoughts we have!! It is the mood that I am in when the rain appears that makes me either welcome it, or bid it farewell. Chris

Enchantress, Yes, I knew you would understand, since my gaze would be towards a magic castle which on many occasions has been my fortress from the storm. Luv, Chris
