The Gentle Rain

Fri, 03/10/2023 - 20:59 -- Sure_Of

Oh gentle rain 

How lovely it is to feel the drops on my nose

To dance beneath the showers

To let the droplets freely run down my cheeks

 

How sweet you taste on my tongue

How salty against my teeth

My lips are running with laughter

The freedom in your showers

 

Oh raging torrent 

How angry are your storms 

The shower turning into a flood

The flood that leads to drowning

And drowning that leads to life

 

How loud are your showers

The screams within my head

It follows me through your outpour 

The cries within your storms

They seem to dance harmoniously 

The sirens call to Ares 

To summon an awakening within myself 

or out

I cannot tell 

 

Oh howling wind

How lonely do you beckon

With wishful hope to seek an answering call 

 

How tormented is your singing

The grief within the sounds

Do you howl for a companion?

For someone to join your misery?

Roaming the earth looking for something

Someone perhaps to push away

Your loneliness is your self-destruction

Your howls are so misleading 

Maybe destined to be alone

Destined to die there too.
