coming another storm
he couldn't
sleep
that night,
heavy,
undressed
the trees,
hear
the chorus,
lurching at
riddled
corpses,
he had
a drink
and scrawled
his name.

Disappearing Mountains
disappearing mountains
rain is falling down
on the hillside forests
here where I am found
waiting by a roadside
listening to the patter
of raindrops on the roof
a pitter patter chatter
of elemental messages
in the soothing sound
of water droplets crashing
above and on the ground
a liquid luscious moment
a water reverie
as rain keeps falling everywhere
on all that I can see
flowing in the gutters
dripping from the trees
splashing from the puddles
soaking all the leaves
...

Columbian Rain
High tempers in full humidity
Wind becomes a telltale sign
'Storms a brewing' as we say
Muddy clouds spill out sparingly
Never enough, better than none
Scorching streets screaming
Aloud, a fresh smell of relief
Allowed such short reprieve
Before heat returns with a loud
Spiteful buffet of vengeance
I draw deep, fresh air sweet
Cherishing before it runs stale
November only six months away
So, 'While I breathe I hope'
Wind becomes a telltale sign
'Storms a brewing' as we say
Muddy clouds spill out sparingly
Never enough, better than none
Scorching streets screaming
Aloud, a fresh smell of relief
Allowed such short reprieve
Before heat returns with a loud
Spiteful buffet of vengeance
I draw deep, fresh air sweet
Cherishing before it runs stale
November only six months away
So, 'While I breathe I hope'

Chain
The flash of light came
& I waited with anticipation
for the thunder it gave.
It cracked my heart wide open.
The night was chaotic & beautiful,
and a little poetic,
and then the sweetness of rain.
& I waited with anticipation
for the thunder it gave.
It cracked my heart wide open.
The night was chaotic & beautiful,

floating stream
i want
to make
a connection
with that
floating stream,
that surface
and stages,
all plump
and
well fed,
the rains
repeating
certain themes,
some desire
and restraint,
to feel less
of a victim,
more of
a villain,
to drown
what lays
in its
destination..

waiting for the rain to stop...maybe
the rain
was here,
not here,
it came
tickling in,
leaving
laughter
everywhere,
i waited
inside,
trying
to decide
what i
should do,
i went
out and
jumped around
in the
discussions
the storm
made,
rain drips
down
my head,
my shoulders,
down
my chest,
lingering at
my waistline,
stopping
to gather
their breath,
each drop
made
a race
down
my legs,

Intoxicating Droplets...
As charcoal tufts tumble with purified droplets, floating frigid in the ether,
I await its caressing mists.
Obsidian hues imprison the periwinkle
and rolling formations of fluffy white,
as strident lashes strike lush landscapes and startle the foundations.
When the cosmos pours its liquid calm,
and relinquishes its inner chaos,
I sit in a realm of utter sereneness.
Eyes and heart filled with earnest awe.....
while the well anticipated pitter patter
and sweet perfume of petrichor
rejuvenates my senses,
and...

Today's Weather
Cloudy with a chance of bitchy rain,
blowing both hot and cold
Bring sunscreen and an umbrella
gentle loving warmth,
interspersed with freezing sleet
Bring a bikini and a pitchfork
Mercurial temperatures developing,
stepping outside could be life threatening,
like throwing a toaster in a hot tub
Bring flowers on bended knee,
seek forgiveness from the powers that be
Perchance with appeasement
the storm will relent
and the sun will emerge with a smile and sex
blowing both hot and cold
Bring sunscreen and an umbrella
gentle loving warmth,
interspersed with freezing sleet
Bring a bikini and a pitchfork
Mercurial temperatures developing,
stepping outside could be life threatening,
like throwing a toaster in a hot tub
Bring flowers on bended knee,
seek forgiveness from the powers that be
Perchance with appeasement
the storm will relent
and the sun will emerge with a smile and sex

You could be forgiven for thinking all was well;
for failing to read the signs
that a storm would visit imminently.
But against the backdrop of a curious calm
was a sense that something had shifted.
The sky crackled with a strange electrical charge
just moments before torrential rain
began to pulverise the buildings;
an urgent hammering,
while the wind howled in anguish.
We stood resolute, silent, through the hideous squall,
unable to take cover inside;
powerless to arrest it in its tracks.
Finally, the worst was over.
Hand...

Storm Dusking
The forecast says rain at midnight
and now the clouds are moving in
north by northeast through the twilight
in grayscale blown thick and thin
to hide the diminishing blue
of a once warm and sunny day
with a sea breeze so fresh and true
you'd think sheer bliss was here to stay!
Yet it dwindles in time for bed;
the evening rush of air abates
and ataraxy in its stead
implores that all thought contemplates
another week of gloaming rain
from Neptune and his bounding main!

Rain in Asian Forests
In the forests of Asia,
where the green unfolds.
The rain dances in leaves,
in a silent ballet,
falling like nature's tears,
mysterious,
a veil that embraces the earth,
a song that echoes.
Under the canopy of trees
the rain persists and sings
washing old logs,
calming the nervous,
the rivers sway, they run free,
impetuous.
And the birds take shelter,
in their nests, for nothing.
On the leaves, drops shine
like rare pearls
and the winds whisper secrets
among the samaras.
And the...
where the green unfolds.
The rain dances in leaves,
in a silent ballet,
falling like nature's tears,
mysterious,
a veil that embraces the earth,
a song that echoes.

washing old logs,
calming the nervous,
the rivers sway, they run free,
impetuous.
And the birds take shelter,
