-  Embracing The Rain  -

The minute the rain hits the pavement,
I found entertainment,
Look out the window like 'Ah shit!',
Witness me strip down to my draws
and cannonball into this water reservoir,
It's hard to stay dry so I get soaking wet,
I needed this to keep my emotions in check,
I guess I will keep floating till I forget,
That before i was in over my head,
So I keep my baggage on land,
As I watch these wave break upon the sand,
I feel no pain as the droplets of rain drain off my hands,
I embrace nature's message as I stand,
in and endless expanse of water dancing,  
I am amazed... what are the chances,
Nature pressed play and I am in a damn trance like dream,
where i am jumping in streams and making a splash,
after I open all of the taps I can finally relax
but in a flash like lightening blasting it will pass,
so I leave my freighting actions back in the past,
i find peace at least as this moment lasts,
but really, how did you expect me to react?
I make my own path and quit following the script,
meditate to awake inner bliss,
high tide is great i love to swim,
bad vibes levitate gone with the wind,
my mission is to be my own best friend,
through a new vision i may transcend material ends,
i said it before so I'll say it again
happiness comes from within,
never dismiss what is inside your skin,
we just may persist through all the bullshit that this life gives,
trials and tribulations make the mind fit,
so I commit to transmit experiences,
in hopes it just assists just one of those kids,
who are scared of the world that they are living in,
Till they witness people playing in the rain,
strange what it takes to wash out the stains-
in an environment shapes our brains,
so don't complain just embrace the rain,
forfeit the shame and give it a page,
absorb the pain we coming of age,
remain at the top of the game as the clouds fade away,
how could rain change everything..
if only for a day.

Raindrops Of Luv

stillness of the night captures my thoughts
as I stroll down a darkened ally to home
not even a meow from a fluffy furred kitten

stars in a black sky are motionless
purple moon has faded to a soft romantic glow
clouds softly weep warm rain kisses

a beautiful sign your thinking of me
with each raindrop luv drips upon my skin
sweet hymn I hear as they tap the window

I hold my tongue out to catch each one
feeling your kisses as I lick my lips
sweet raindrops comforting my spirit

as the soft raindrops brings memories of you

Raindrops

dewdrops born of rain
cling on blade of grass
set to wet the moisten soil
a seed to nourish down below

falling on drooping leaves
caressing the delicate pattern
of criss crossed veins
gently sliding with liquid sighs

the raindrops gushing from grey skies
upon the hills mountains and forests
washing foggy floaters on the air
gently urging in a crystal clear day

misty eyes greet early morn
choked on words unuttered
a silent greeting to a beloved
who remember no more

a solitary drop
freed from the heavens
shining
luminescent
and fresh
descends
through the skies
caressing its cloud
in a fond farewell
as it journeys
toward its goal...

much below
needs splendor
and the drop
is eager to oblige...

passionately connecting
with flower
with tree
with body
and spreading
coalescing
with fellows
cleansing the earth
of its befouling

blending and merging
eventually drying
leaving nothing behind
but sparkling lands
and a rainbow
to mark its passing

the raindrop
has fulfilled its purpose
and graciously
fades away

Impartation

Jesus wept
a fortune into my
hand—
gold dust from living
rivers,
searing through the
trials of life and
city dust.

Oh, can you hear the
Hosannas
as the rains fall on
my lands, parched and
filth-ridden
from the tongues of
man
and daughters?

I cannot let daisies
fall
from mine own lips,
always,
but the needed vinegar
oft turns to
another layer of love’s
lessons,
washed into our skins,
impartations of
blessings
seen after the storms.

Water droplets linger—
waiting,
in case, just
in case—
but clouds dissolve
and we go
on.

RAIN



rain has stopped
now a sprinkling of showers
pounding on tin roof has eased
soon perfection will hang suspended
crystal clear
from a tip of green
long enough for me
to scry the future

what do I see?

Trickle.

Downpour,
a superfluity of solitary civilisations plummeting from the eyelids of a deity,
Harmless harmony
In the rhythm they make
On thin rooftops.

Striking the earth
With tremendous force
Join brothers all,
A combination of singular drops can be fatal.

Substances soaked,
Submitting souls solely
To the storm's sudden strike
Of silver streaks streaming
The sky swiftly.

Spirits drop as do the clouds' gifts.

Walk In The Rain

God, look at the beauty that's out here today.
They say it's depressing, but I say it's beautiful.
It's incredible how water can pour down from the sky as we walk by.
I wish it would rain all day.
Because everyday it's the same weather.
Hide the sun as it comes
The little drops of rain feels so gentle yet cold.
I know I'm too old to play in the rain, but I can't help it.
I'd rather sit in the rain as it comes my way than to hide away from it.
Gorgeous rain, nothing is more better than to stay in the rain.
It feels so sensuous on my skin.
Let's make love in the rain and let our bodies feel the wet touch of our juices and the water that's dripping on us.
It's so romantic,
It's so exotic I just love it!.
Let this drought come to an end,
Make this dry dessert flower again.
It's so beautiful it makes me want to cry.
You cannot lie and say this isn't so magical.
Hear the rain fall down on the ground as it goes
drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip.
Let it pour down from my lips to the valley of my
chest.
Come on, dance with me in the rain
Come on, walk with me in the rain.

Reincarnation

Where am I?

I feel so puffy, so light!
I am even flying
And missing my footing.

Who am I?

I remember that I was once
The monarch of all the lands
Dividing the Earth in diffrent realms.

What am I?

I thought I was a traveller
Above, along and under
The cold hard ground.

I was everywhere
Being busy of either bestowing blessing
Or creating havoc wherever I went.

Until I met heat and fire, we had a fight
Oh, how I lost and slowly, I died.
My soul was taken and ascended to heaven

The massacre of our kind
You think we would sit and just watch?
Oh, no! We wont, no sir, we wont.

Just you wait till we amass
Soldiers in the clouds.
Hear our screams in thunderous voices!
Watch our swords in lightning speed.
Be dreanch without mercy
As heaven cries and let us be.

Who am I?
One of many!

What are we?

Kings and Queens and you...
Are at our mercy.
We are the plague of your existence
We are the healer of your disease
We devastate as we comfort
We gave life as we destroy.

We are the rain and every drop of us,
Is the soul of the dams, rivers and streams...
The spirit of the seas, oceans and lakes.
We are the tears from heaven above,
Of joy and sorrow
Of celebration and mourning
Of life and death.

Who am I?
Proudly
A raindrop
My dear.

For now,
I am reborn.
But tomorrow,
I may die again.

Don't you miss me darling...
