Longing For The Rain
I long for the touch of rain on my skin
For its sweet taste on my lips like a lover's kiss
I want to feel the rain wrapping me in its cold embrace
In this blazing summer heat
I want to soak myself in the fresh, falling heavens tears
To cleanse and purify my soul from my impurities
I want to sing in the rain, to squeal with delight
As I dance with joy bubbling in my heart
I want to relive those childhood years
To just be a child again for a moment in my life
I want to feel that happiness again
To drown my pain and tears in the rain
To be lost in the comfort of its healing kiss
For its sweet taste on my lips like a lover's kiss
I want to feel the rain wrapping me in its cold embrace
In this blazing summer heat
I want to soak myself in the fresh, falling heavens tears
To cleanse and purify my soul from my impurities
I want to sing in the rain, to squeal with delight
As I dance with joy bubbling in my heart
I want to relive those childhood years
To just be a child again for a moment in my life
I want to feel that happiness again
To drown my pain and tears in the rain
To be lost in the comfort of its healing kiss

This appears to be the signature piece for your name Summerrain! Rain can be so cleansing, and there is just something about the coolness of summer rain that touches us like no other.
Lovely imagery. A dance with poetry.

Dancing in the rain - a guttural place of joy - [especially if it continues and gets muddy] :))
Enjoyed the read; lovely spill of words cascading down the page.

Thank you Josh for the comment. Yes the joy of dancing in the rain for hours until you feel cold is such a delight.:-)
