Come gentle rain and wash away the pain Erase her memory from my brain And let me live again Wash the sadness and the tears away Let me see the sun someday Here along the bay Cleanse me of the fears That have grown through the years And open up deaf ears Purify my wounded soul Send me love to fill this hole Where anger has taken its toll Give me strength to face the trek Always looking forward, never back At my old life, a wreck Come gentle rain and wash away the pain Erase her memory from my brain And let me live. . . Again ---------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

This is a beautiful poem, but it's also so sad. I hope that the rains come soon for you, my friend. Meanwhile, take comfort in knowing that you have my vote!

Sven, Good choice for the book my friend. LW Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. --William Wordsworth |

Sven, what a bittersweet poem, beautifully written and from the heart. I loved the presentation and the ending. You are so talented. I relate very much to this, wishing that the rain could erase his memory from my mind. Please take my vote  Take care, Melissa Honeybee |

Wonderful writing, but if ANY of our memories were erased, how would we then keep our lessons in mind? Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

Great work Sven! I wish it was as easy as being washed by a gentle rain. Then again where would all this poetic beauty be hiding. Excellent read. |
