in the pouring rain

Dedicated to someone special:

brushing my cheek against the wall
laying asleeping thinking about you
dreams, only that could wake
from the storm to perfect to resist

you know me almost to well
in times to short to even explain
making me think, i am truly special
but you lied
and everyone can tell

to tender to adore more than once,
so i know, that we are all beautiful
one wish
falling on the star
like the old rhyme
that would never work until now

making a list
what you taught me
listed one through infinity
to be myself is number one
but also to listen, and respect
giving me confidence, i could only wish
while laying out in the cold
not to judge by the outside
you taught me that without even knowing it
because you showed me
over and over

funny thing is, you knew

with pen and ink i draw us a picture
of more than a waterslide
blue and green
going together
mixing and blending through each slope
the message you shan't recive

now you take my hand into yours
lessons through for now
a sense of hope
holds us in its arms
like you hold me
in your grasp, safe again
but you don't....




Morning mist clings to my face, and my soul opens up to you......

Aww, thank you so much Ri!  What a nice poem to dedicate to me.  

Heh, seriously though... very sweet, I love the surreal imagery, how you start with an image of laying in bed, and then take your poem in the direction of a dreamlike state.  Really held my interest from start to finish, I fully enjoyed reading this...

Especially like the ending.  Like you just snap yourself away from the dream in a single line.  Very well done Ri, this is great poetry.

See you around, babe.

i have no idea what the challenge was, ill go look. but this was an extermly well written piece. the whole picture was completed and very vivid in my mind, but to everyone it will be different and will perhaps remind them of someone in their life, past, or present.
great work
