The Morning Rain

The morning rain

came sharply through

the windowpane

piercing my skin

as I lay asleep

no longer.

 

A chill in the air

filled my lungs

without care

as I dug deeper

into the comforter

for warmth.

 

A bedraggled morning

this came to be

as I could not bear

to get out of bed

into such a day

that had chased

the sun away.

 

I longed for you then

to be in my arms again

as I lay awake

barely remembering

your morning charms.

 

A smile and a wink

a friendly greeting

you always keep

for me when I awake

in your arms.

 

Although this day

I found myself away

from your graces

in the cold stare

of a rainy day.

This is a beautiful piece. The imagery was excellent. It was so well written that I was able to espy myself in the midst of one of those gloomy days. Well done!

The vivid imagery so beautifully conveys so well the bittersweet scene of waking alone, feeling distant from your love. The feelings expressed are so moving. So well done.

Nice. I like it. I love the picture too --I have it as my desktop!!!! Coincidence? Anyway. nice poem and it is great the way it shows how the person feels with the weather. Brill!

Simply superb... The loneliness in enhanced by the dreary weather outside... there is a certain beauty in this though it is also very sad.

and that ending is just a real shot to the heart.
