Rain

The perfect morning

I wake to the sound of rain on the roof

I glance down: she always smiles in her sleep.

The thumping of my heart still serves as proof

That I am hers, forever to love and keep.

For me, the rain meant that the skies do weep

Tears of joy, the same that well up inside

As I feel her shiver, pull her closer to confide

In my warmth, feel my love flow strong and deep

She opens her eyes, lifts them to meet mine

Her smile, it widens, intensifies.

A flash of light elicits a soft cry

She laughs and grins before whispering 'You're mine.'

It's true, and not once do I marvel why

As the rain falls and light pierces the skies

Jesse, I love this poem. Lying with your lover listening to the falling rain is as good as it gets. You captured the feelings of warmth, security, comfort and desire that help make love the magic that it is. You should write this in a card and give it to your wife or girl friend for Valentines Day.

Not a bad idea at all, Richie. First I'd have to acquire said wife/girlfriend, lol. It's based on one of my favorite memories, so it was really easy to summon up the feelings I had then and commit them to pen and paper, so to speak. Thanks for the review!

I find this was a good choice. Reminds me of someone else that writes of love. Yes romantics not of just the heart, but body and soul included.

Well done. The feelings of warmth from the bond of love came through very well.

I'm a romantic at heart, so this was one of the easiest poems I've ever written. Thanks for the kind words :)

A large number of my works fall into the romantic, so keep it up. I like it.
