Okay, Rain, I am going to preface this by saying that I really do not know where it came from. It just did.
Rain falls
I weep
Strong, she rises again, and pulls me alongside
Yet
In the ensuing chaos
I fall
Leaving
Rain
Who weeps
Her generosity of spirit boundless, still she lingers to succor and aid
Little by little comes the dawn
Sparkling rays piercing the mantle
A scene of devastation greets the eyes
I
Fallen
Rain
Fallen as well...
The
Earth
Weeps
Rain falls
I weep
Strong, she rises again, and pulls me alongside
Yet
In the ensuing chaos
I fall
Leaving
Rain
Who weeps
Her generosity of spirit boundless, still she lingers to succor and aid
Little by little comes the dawn
Sparkling rays piercing the mantle
A scene of devastation greets the eyes

Gentle Drops of Rain
…at the way things work .
the heat of the day causes
moisture to rise high above earth
gently suspended in...
...her sultry hot steam
cooling in lofty breeze
falling back to the earth
just as pretty a you please
She's a mystery to me.......
…..touching my heart
with a single, solitary drop
increasing it's intensity
harder and stronger
seems she's never gonna' stop
but that's just her way
of soothing your body
on a hot summer day
traces of her nectar
coating your skin
like tranquil drops of Jupiter,
feels so fine
to be covered
in
precious ointment
for the
body, soul and mind......
…...her words heal me
a beautiful artistry
that paints your world
with vivid, colorful shades
that
move,
exude,
seduce
the many Ids of you
etching herself upon your skin....
….like a tattoo
sometimes confounded
always astounded
by the beautiful droplets
of
Rain
(not entering this for competition...just posting as a tribute)

Love the Rain
A thousand kisses a minute
Of wet passion
Without judgment
Loving every inch
A steady down pour
Of selfless giving
Goddess of love
Love that soaks in
Captivating you
In her stream
A streaming river
In a land of beautiful copper
To lay across the foothills
Of such amazing landscape
It can only come from
RAIN
Rain that only an Angel can make
A thousand kisses a minute
Of wet passion
Without judgment
Loving every inch
A steady down pour
Of selfless giving
Goddess of love
Love that soaks in
Captivating you
In her stream
A streaming river
In a land of beautiful copper

RAIN
Rain that only an Angel can make
Sweet Rain
soft rain falls upon my skin
like the soft touch of her friendship
a warm breeze cuddles my soul
I know its her hug she sends to me
her care and concern for others
is beyond comprehension of luv
beauty inside and out is real as it gets
all woman covered with grace
fresh rain flowing thru your heart
always leaves a fragrant mist
shares wisdom and thoughts
but always makes you feel her luv
Rain.....you are a blessing to so many
I am only one of those that is honored our paths crossed
You are more than a poetic Sister and Friend
Luv, hugs and smiles your way....luv ya!! Xo

Oh, heavenly summer Rain!
Your words and your voice
could sprout multitudes of dazzling wild flowers
moisten their petals, nurture them
bring them to bloom
into kaleidoscope maturity
Oh, heavenly summer Rain!

RAIN OH RAIN
When you shut the door without a word baby
what am i supposed to do with me?
When you walk out without an explanation baby
what am i supposed to do with us?
Rain oh rain
i guess its just you and i tonight
Can you help?
Could you help?
Will you please help with this pain?
Rain on me till there nothing left of my breath
rain on me till i cannot feel my being
rain on me till there is no more to my name
rain on me till on ground without a pulse.
Why is he cheating
didn't he say he was happy at home?
What is he searching for in another
thought he said forever was not long enough?
Rain on me till there nothing left of my breath
rain on me till i cannot feel my being
rain on me till there is no more to my name
rain on me till on ground without a pulse.
Soak my skin
drench my heart
drink my body
mate my soul
Take me away
carry me away
wash me away
Have me please
let me be one with you.
Rain on me till there nothing left of my breath
rain on me till i cannot feel my being
rain on me till there is no more to my name
rain on me till on ground without a pulse.
Rain oh rain
i guess its just you and i tonight
Can you help?
Could you help?
Will you please help with this pain.
Oh when it rain it pours!
This was emotionally thick Peninnah and I loved it!
"Rain on me till there's nothing left of my breath"<-- repetitive line that worked nicely in this ink.
I felt the sweet down pour.
Thank you for sharing!

"A Letter to Rain"
Dear Miss Rain~
I honestly admit
that I have spent
the better part of my week
trying to pen you a poem
that would stand out
from the others;
a single poem to convey
what would describe you at best
that would set you apart
from all of the rest
of the beautiful poetresses
pouring their hearts out into this world
but a poem, Miss Rain,
can only be penned so far
before its words become repetitive
and lose their meaning
I don't think you need a poem
to describe who you are
you are who you are
and no amount of words
can challenge that very aspect
for you are a Diva of Eroticism
a quintessential heavyweight
with an undisputed gift
that will forever reign long after
your wanton punches of ink
have bled permanently on paper
and embedded themselves
within the hearts you have touched;
divine poetry that will linger on
once this world has come and gone
and maybe someday
when we're both old and gray
and rocking the years away
our souls will meet
our destinies will cross
to talk poetry and life
men that we loved
children that we had
regrets that we harbored
mistakes that we made
. . .yeah
maybe one day, perhaps some day,
and somewhere in a house
of erotic & blues
yours always,
Miss Devlin
