What I've Always Thought About Your Rain |

What dreams are these? Shallow, dirty water cast into my eyes. I am blind, once again, for sight is crumbling..this must be the end. To what do I owe this pleasure? A whipping bird's wings in flight, humming it's way across my flesh, and I begin to bleed once again.. The sun has risen early this day and I can smell your scent, it's burning under the rays, the heat is taking it's time to melt my senses are gone once again, I am left with nothing but the time, to count down the seconds until you finally arrive.. I am cursed to grasp the space in front of me, and scream a million names I've never heard. I have been cursed, once again, to shed coil after coil, until there's nothing left but lungs and a heart made of iron. |

"I am cursed to grasp the space in front of me, and scream a million names I've never heard." You do have a way of expressing thoughts that I really enjoy. I love what you do with words. |

Your title drew me in and your words blew me away even more. Just great! Sauni:)The Only Time I See The Sun Is When I'm Within That Vanilla Breeze.The Only Time I'm One With The Sun Is When He Shelters Me From The Rain. |

Meg~ Got to say, I couldn't pick favorite lines because when I thought I had them the last line punched me in the gut..(you seem to like doing that) Ahhhhhhh...it's a very good day when I get to read you... Thanks for being. "sit on top of the world and tell me how you feel...'cause what you feel is what I feel for you.." |

They are right. Any one word, sentence or phrase plucked out as "best" leaves a gaping hole...that's how to tie the thoughts together, that is how the poem becomes complete, when all is dependent on another. So enjoyed, Meghan. Thank you. |
