it's called "watching the rain"
...when it rains I picture the droplets splashing off trees leaves
the grass blades and the cemented pave ways of my lawn
and they are splashing with glimmering cymbal sounds
so I listen to the pathways that the winds blow
making the rains sway
as though the wind running its hands through the clouds' hair
and as I listen, deeper
I hear the silent whispers as drop cuts through air
so easily as though coal on ice
I hear some of the rain slide off the roof edge
and fall in a simple synchrony to the trenches below
where the waters twirl in a dizzying whirl of circular foamy white
as though imitating clouds from whence they came
and then I inch closer
to listen and watch the droplets whisper and dance
to their pitter patter on earth
and even closer I inch as if the drips of rain rest on my skin
tickling my feet like soft feather caress...
this is about the rain
corrupting my brain
my mind has no drain
it's about the rain
so this rain is a mystery of my memory
why do I love your speak when your speak drenches me?
why must my back tire with heavy soaked clothes?
why do I cherish your warm embrace?
why do I cherish your cold embrace?
your chilled touch
as this kiss that is this
that will melt my moment
every moment goes and it blows on by
the tears, they fall from my eye
I think perhaps I might die
but in your own eye you will see the truth
if you don't see this you won't see the use
you must see
you must see the use in me
the use in you
the trinity is nothing else than you and me
why do I love this rain?
is it for the fact that the icy kiss freezes my heart from feel?
or is it the cold embrace that helps chase away all sense of thought?
and the chilled touch that blinds my eyes from sights?
and so
the rain hail will pour upon my soul
send the icy cold blocks of tiny imperfection
to cut through my skin
and place within
the knowledge that imperfection is the beginning of perfection
and that the fruits do not sprout from anything but from dirt
let the lightening strike shock my soul to life
and the thunderous bellows send my fears bellow
may the thick dark tufts of cottoned clouds
shelter me from the blinding light...
that forbids me to see ...hindsight
hide those stars that go about tainting the cold dark night…
that shelters me from this harsh day light
but now it just drizzles
and I wish it could rain
deep thick sheets coming down endlessly
drowning out the voices so that I may be wrapped in its thick icy embrace
numbing my nerves with every drop…
inch by inch,
until I am immovable like a rugged mountain
they say the sun gave life...
it's useless...
all that it does is suck all the moisture from me...
do I have identity?
