Melancholia Melancholia slides in stain As rain glides down the windowpane And I a clown in frowning face Borrowed from my inner space. I sent my mind to touch the drops To dance among the lops and plops And twirled as if I were a kite Shedding rain drops with delight. And then I saw a rainbows path In the showers of the bath And flew into its downward glide To see what treasure it did hid And I awoke my living room Holding fast the curtains loom Smiling at the running pane Laughing at the driving rain Happiness hides in your dwell Bides within your wishing well. |

Seymour darling heart and writer extraordinaire this is exceptionally beautiful, your gift with words is a constant inspiration to a soul too long denied love’s light. Beautiful writing utterly utterly beautiful, I love it utterly. The way you spin words into wonder is always perfect and sometimes on days when the day seems particularly drab you are a positive shower of light and magic. Wonderful writing. It flows beautifully across the page like a sweep of rainbow hue. Thank you Seymour for this all I can say is that’ll do nicely love x x As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |

A delightful poem, Sy... Its raining here this morning, which sets the perfect tone for reading your poem. Last night we finally had a thunderstorm. I hadn't seen one in a while, and I must say that it was quite enjoyable... The lightning bolts seemed to come through the skylights and touch the livingroom floor. I love the rain and I love your poem. ~ rainy day hugs Lyra |
