Cumulative the words lost brevity
When they turned into the fine crease of skin
That age left along the corners of eyes
From squinting as we searched for paths between
The clouds that came

Spring to spring they do

Form along the boundary lines
Where cool meets the warm of you and finds
The uplift more than sufficient to bear the weight
Of brewing storms

Like the one inside your skin
When thoughts of a touch might scribe themselves
Just below your navel and spread
Into humid climes before they run
In a fade of ink to mark how it is when
Too much is not enough for they are after all
Only words

To be written one letter after another
Then delivered along with rain as the sky begins
It’s own shed of silk and stands again
Nude of stars with a curve
Heavy there milked in a mark of haze
To feed the infant day
                                   Yet born
I am lost to the spelling
Of words larger than love
      And can not understand the wiles of writing
Just a few words to say what it is
I carry in my own thunderous noise of mind
Which bring me here
To scan the naked sky
             And try to spell your name
In glyphs pressed into the wet wet clay from
Which we were formed
                                  So many stormy lifetimes
Long ago

This started as a warmth at the nape of my neck and like a lovers touch traveled down my spine sending shivers thoughout my body...

that is what these words said to me.

If this is too many words...
then no reason it comes home
so easily...

Thank you for this, but where are
:3, :4, :5 and :6?

3,4,5,and 6 are squirreled away.. hardly worth the read... or not yet ready to be read... they are shy I think...
and there are enough of words on rain around on the boards to sate most any desire...to taste the way rain is...or can be...

LOL.....

  looks like cake you are eating there.. not rain...

thanks for the look see Ms Mari... but as for more...I am not sure... it would seem the rain and I are giving way to the build of clouds on humid afternoons and sudden strong storms... we're all under a tornado watch right now, until 9 tonight, and the temp is a balmy 91 degree, but the humidity is only 73%....lol... sort of like a sauna out there.. and a breeding fround for clouds and storms... a totally different feel than the rain. well.. at least to me..

I have spoken with one wise man about this very subject many times and have yet to come up with any sort of logical conclusion:

I am lost to the spelling
Of words larger than love
      And can not understand the wiles of writing
Just a few words to say what it is
I carry in my own thunderous noise of mind
Which bring me here
To scan the naked sky
             And try to spell your name
In glyphs pressed into the wet wet clay from
Which we were formed
                                  So many stormy lifetimes
