Eros' Galoshes

 

Eros' Galoshes 

 

 

it's kind of raining out

and i kind of love you

when the sun sort of shines

you are sort of my umbrella

 

and yet we both get wet

and we both feel the love

as it pours down,

 

like a strobe light

glistening through rainbow rain

as the arrow impales our hearts

together

in vivacious color

 

kind of 

sort of

like high definition

reflects our intentions

 

off the puddles of commitment

that surround us.

I love how you rain down your admiration then end in puddles of commitment. Forget the umbrella! Get drenched.

Oh you're more than welcome Mr cilberto

[andrew mitchell]

The love of rain whether winter or not but also a clever metaphor of love for a partner "springs" to mind sharing the puddles. Nice write either way I delve into the wet!

I bet there is not one sordid commercial during the entire affair. Reminds me of Gene Kelly Singing in the Rain.
Sweet like honey.

Very interesting write on love in a unique reflection. Ah yes the creative mind and ideas that it doth bring forth.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I'm sorta confused.... with connotations sorta swinging back and forth in contradiction.
Mainly stemming from the title to the plot.
With Enos being the Great Lover always willing and able, yet the write seeming to be about a wishy- washy ,
(a fair weather type)
Why would Eno's need galoshes? Why would Eno's be only a fair weather type?
Eno's is the anytime anywhere type,I thought.. At least he was last time it was raining here :-) lol

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Eros is the god of love yes, but sometimes people, even though in heart, they know it is there, in commitment and trust, they are hesitant...thus his galoshes, designating the protective element in the lovers...kind of sort of that.

thank you for stopping by and for your thoughts, Connie.

Thanks But Still.. All I can see in my minds eye is this "Chucky Doll Eno's" Stomping to another quest with his red rubber boots, emphatically on his next quest LOL
Hey Jacob.. If you see him, give him my address. It's a Beautiful rainy day here :-)

"Eros' Galoshes" be soundin' like some rubbers--prophylactics, as the snooty might say. (Not even gonna bring up the "umbrella.")
Kinda lovin' her "when the sun sort of shines" brings to depraved minds loving her where the sun don't shine. Luckily, my mind is not depraved and I would never think that.
Apparently, the high-minded metaphors of your (sorta) rainy day love are beyond me.
I still, however, found it to be an intriguing read.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your words...insightful and brought a smile...

Jacob? I'm use to you punching love in the face...Eros Galoshes"? So, you're still not getting your feet wet yet? hahaha I'm playing. I love your expressions my friend. Always an intriguing visit :)

[Cryingkate]

Excuse me ......... But I just had to say: EUREKA ! Lynn, you just amaze me with your ability to see something and nail it so perfectly with words.... "Punching love in the face?"
I've been trying to describe to myself ,just that. God you nailed it for me.
