~Raindrops Of Remember~ ![]() parched lips so often thirsting for your kiss recall a time entangled in such bliss this arid heart sustained with reminisce once filled with love now lost in vast abyss we crossed the bridge of love and paid the toll now memories are all that will console desolation reigns within my soul I pray the rains will come and make me whole so let the storm clouds burst till my heart has been submersed then shower me with raindrops of remember ~vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (edited 07-27-2001).] |

Nothing better than finding another "rain" poem and this one truely is a beauty. I am so glad that this one came back up because with my limited time here I am sure I would have missed it. Very happy that I didn't. Wonderful write and wonderful topic...."LOVE AND RAIN" mix so well together. |

amazing analogy...when rain so often is equated with sorrow...when it is so right to equate it with moisture...renewal...life! enjoyed! |
