even as rain punishes the window pane

with fierce retribution

yearnings peek out over the horizon

        memories of midnight meetings

                of a love never meant to be

creep into my consciousness

no, it would never work and truly it didn=t

and yet your voice

speaking my name

        the way no one ever had before

                or ever will again

is all i hear tonight

even as the rain punishes the window pane

Once again , another piece of art and shining Gem. Insightful is the whole meaning of this craft and I greatly respect that! I sense individuality confusion and that they are trying to hear closely to the everlasting rain for a hint or even a sign ! Your writings are utterly marvelous, my dear!

Keep Calm and Carry On

Awesome. Cannot really choose a favorite line as it all spoke to me. I do love the choice to open and close with the same line ... it just adds that extra bit of luster to this flawless gem. ~Jim

All is well-ish. It will be better when you return. I look forward to your poetry and take inspiration from it. Looking forward to your next write and then the next ... etc. Be good to yourself, that is what I have been trying to learn to do for myself. ~Jim

Wow. This is beautiful. I have read so many poems that is art but it is hard to write them artistically and at the same time, makes one sigh in its beauty. I truly am a fan of your writing. I LOVE this. :)

A beautiful and sad journey into your words. Some places we can't return to and the memories can become more painful than sweet. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
