The rain

the drops form slowly in the wells of my eyes

as they gather they cloud my vision

i know the rain will fall soon.

 

as i fail to blink back my tears

i bite my lip, and prepare to close my eyes

for the rain will come soon.

 

as i close my eyes it comes

my cheeks are damp and i taste the salt.

the bitter taste seems so sweet,

as to free the rain from me.

 

for when it falls

i feel free.

Beautiful.
I know I'm not long winded tonight. I like to think that sometimes one word suffices. But I like your imagery.
