Thou Art the Rain

Memories in rain.

Inspired by MsJewel's poem  ~Rain~

 

The rain is my constant

In monsoon is an attraction

Each drop a word of spell

Lightly whispered arouses air

Every pour simplicity

Writes the verse in poetry

Of expectancy in unaware

 

Each dripping

A touch of caressing hands

The wetness upon my body

Cool as autumn lips

Every splash a testimony

Of history

Recorded though this kiss

 

The showers

Virility in love

Bathing my heart

In whirlpool balms

Flowing as floods

Felicity art

Is never completely enough

 

Thy rain my constant

Memories I have

Left of thee

Springtime my scent tense

Evermore thy allegory clear

And when I dance

To its ambiance I am whole I am bare

 

For thou art within

Liquid spirit

Forever dancing

In the shadows

Right here

Glad rain inspired you, too. :) another sentimental piece, Mike. :)

[Michael G. Smith]

Thanks Blue.

[MsJewel]

I am honored my poem gave you the inspiration for these lovely words. Some think the rain is sad and gloomy - I see rain as soft, sensual and a perhaps a bit bittersweet. You have captured those feelings.
and when I dance
to its ambiance I am whole I am bare... my favorite lines in a stunning poem.

I love the rain and will literary go out and dance in it. I even like to sit on the roof during hurricanes. My wife thinks I am crazy but it is rejuvenating.

Gorgeous wording here, Mike. Wonderfully penned!

It's funny how we have transitioned to writing no longer with pen or paper. Thanks for the comment. It just made ponder how we have moved, so we think up to a better medium.

Between you and Jack and even Ron you are going to be called the trio of love and romance...Just a compliment...Bravo
Soooo beautiful...:)

[Michael G. Smith]

You are welcome...:)

Oh I love this one Mike, it has just the right amount of heat to make it sultry and the perfect adornment to Julie's rain poem. It's really gorgeous, one tiny thing, I'd change 'drip' in the second stanza to 'drop', just sounds better to me imho.

[Michael G. Smith]

thanks, the only thing is I visited drop in the stanza previous.

[Frieda P]

Ahh yes I see the dilemma there, I don't like repeating myself in poetry either if I can help it, perhaps you could change that to 'thy words each dripping a spell' or something, maybe it's just me, drip has an off putting connotation to it and your poem is so lovely...still enjoyed!

[Michael G. Smith]

Yes, I see your point drip is a drip and dripping gives more of a feeling of well...you know.

[Michael G. Smith]

check out Moth to Flame which I sent you.

[Frieda P]

Haha exactly what I was thinking....will do.

[SyberRose]

I believe we can squeeze a million more poems out of the rain. there may be one for every raindrop.

Interesting comparing the power of rain and tears.

[Michael G. Smith]

I read msJewel's poem called rain and consider how many people are constantly remind of someone when it rains.
