Another Rain


Rain sleeting down
My vision holds a foot in the middle
I see you drenched in yellow
Smile holding the rain
Peace sought in vain
How can I do this to you
I cant
I will chicken
I will sacrifice
For your smile and eyes that light
Like a lightness in a storm
Like a cuddle when alone
You are there
Do I know you deeply
I don’t
Do I understand you
I try not to
To understand you would be to intrude
To take what you can give
And to say thank you for it
Maybe it isn't love
But for me
It is enough

I think thats a big part of love...accepting what is given, and giving what you have to give...James

James

You are probably right, but I have stopped falling in love for years now.

I decided at some point that if I carried on, they would eventually run faster than I could lurch.

Many thanks.

I wonder whether poetry is the next big growth industry.
