Rainy days caress

the windows in silver

drizzled on the glass...

I want to curl up

and sleep in her mind

swim the deep water

of her dreams...

If the rain falls

like sad faces all around

then open me up

spread out my arms

I’ll cover her

and be her umbrella man

shade her from words

in the atmosphere

that descend like knives...

For now life painted wine red

dripping down my canopy

chocolate raindrops

mix with truffled kisses

confessions of forever...

Please let me swim

the deep water

of her dreams…

I love this. Once upon a time, a certain man walked me home in the rain with his umbrella. I have never forgotten that and to this day, I love him still.

As lovely,soothing as always Craig,
my favorite stanza would be
I want to curl up

of her dreams...:)

as always there is a blank canvass which you make colourful by splashing it with the beautiful imageries ...

[Cherrie Palmer]

this is what poetry is all about, it makes you think and then makes you feel.
