"Rain-dezvous"
By
The rain brings with it a solitude
That only lovers comprehend
No spying eyes
Not even the ever prying gaze of
the lofty sun
Every rain drop,
a scampering
witness
Too shy to tell the tale of the
lovers' embrace
- Pouring -
It clears out all trace of love's
presence
No reminder of love's kiss
That we were here, nobody knows
But the rain that's gone
They are clay molds
Are they not?
These mortals
They hide from these
beautiful raindrops
that call us out
The raindrops that animate the
immortal;
They that love: you and I
In this moment,
Not a soul lives but you and I.
Elated! We are dancing and
twirling
Underneath this canopy of
glistening clear petals
The world is ours!
Or at least this street
For there's no one here
But you and me
