Rain Dance

Post by Lonnie » Mon Aug 13, 2012 5:15 am

Rain Dance



Melodic staccato of rhythmic rain
pattering softly against the glass
of my inter-dimensional windowpane
bringing me visions that weep and pass

Pattering softly against the glass
creating a sound that others miss
bringing me visions that weep and pass
like star-crossed lovers who sadly kiss

Creating a sound that others miss
the rain reveals its secret heart
like star-crossed lovers who sadly kiss
and then by fate are torn apart

The rain reveals its secret heart
rhythms driven to belong
and then by fate are torn apart
relinquishing each separate song

Rhythms driven to belong
falling now as tears of pain
relinquishing each separate song
melodic staccato of rhythmic rain

Your poem reminds me as to why I began cautiously, dancing between the raindrops, as I grew older! :shock:

I like the manner in which you wrote this; has a nice rhythm to it and you paint some great images for your reader.
