It's raining again
from clouds I thought
would only obscure the sun momentarily.

But it's been days
since dawn poured through my blinds.

The sun would probably cheer me,
but who wants to be cheered?

I'll walk in it, stare at it,
swallow it drop by drop
till it floods all of me

And takes with it
the worthless,wartish dreams of a love
that broke mid-sentence
along with my heart.

The rain tells me I'm a fool to cry
as it pounds my upturned face

How did it see the tears?

I really like this one....but a day will come that the clouds clear and the sunlight shines...just becareful......sometimes the sun comes out far too brightly.

Creativity tends to flow from the darkest corners where we can be alone in our thoughts. I don't care too much for sunlight myself, SD. How about you?

Love your stuff,
