Rain
by J.Sage (autumn 1999)
protected by copyright

Drizzle down sweet rain
My love
You know me too well
When I try to be you

In a basement somewhere else
I smell you
Somewhere else where flowers drown
You dwell

Clean my spirit, echo my hearts cry
So silent ,so simple, so clean
Not like me, loud misery
Unlike me, you're sweet
When I try to be you
You let me weep

Pillow drizzle
I drink and spill my wine
You helped me cry
On the nights I tried to die

Sweet soulful pitter-patter
You must love me
Blood and tears on my lips
You bathe me in cool serenity
You help me remember sanity

I think you might know me too well
The way the dying flowers love your smell
The way the rain can speak words it never knew I understood
On a cold doorstep she understood
In my blood she understood

Sometimes you know me too well
When I try to be you
Sweet silent friend
Sometimes I need you

~J.Sage,...your words are perfection. I'm not sure that I've read you before this and will surely be on the lookout for your future posts. When a poem leaves a piece of itself inside of me it's a sure thing. Wonderful write here. Take care of you. *Peace.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, spitfire.  That was a huge compliment.  This was one of the only few (maybe 2or 3) poems written in the midst of a 2 year writer's block.  This poem wrote itself... and then I read it and was like... that came out of me?  What you wrote means a lot to me thank you.
