The Sigh of Rain I listened to the sigh of rain Drizzling on desires Bane Wetting down the wings of flight By misty dew of mornings light You could not hear the flames egress The dying moans emit distress Nor could you feel the smelt of burn Bubble under melts of yearn And from the smoke illusion rose Gasping in my egos throws Choking on the fain of blain Letting go the reins of reign And sanctity turned to splash And raindrops tore apart the ash And sun dispersed the rust to dust Diluting all the grains of lust And naught was left but rains insist Drumming on a satirist. |

YOU ARE SO COOOOL!!!! This is the COOOOOLEST write!!! The internal rhymes left me giddy... reading this aloud is a MUST ... the imagery...the verbiage...the clever wit of your word play.... and this verse? And sanctity turned to splash And raindrops tore apart the ash And sun dispersed the rust to dust Diluting all the grains of lust thats worth poetic gold... I'm polishing up your crown for you are me King of Cadenced Cool Sy-babers. ![]() ![]() *winkiewinkie* ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Captivating...sometimes a stretch of word-meanings to meet the rhyme, but you made me look in the dictionary. ![]() Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
