Flirtation

Shy petals and rain –

Flirtatious kiss between parched

Earth and her heaven

Lightness

There is a certain lightness that is felt

When heavy somber clouds break apart

And soft gentle rays start to shine through

Kissing the Ground

Raindrops

Kiss the ground

As heavy clouds

Sob with pain

Steamed Coffee

Rainy days

And dreamy morns

Books on tap

And smiles and yawns

Nothing beats

A lazy dawn –

Steamed coffee

While water falls

Pretty Boy

Running in from the rain
Your hair, your face wet
With drops of heaven dew
The elevator door opens
For you to show the way
I continue with my walk
You are a pretty boy
But I’d rather not
Be caught alone
To keep company
With you

Drops of Rain

rain

How I ache to see the sun
To live my life without a fear
So rain drops keep on falling
Allow the clouds to cry
Their one last tear

In response to Daily Prompt: Drop

Shelter from the Rain

Bad news happened
No words to comfort
No songs of joy to sing
Only a storm that began
To fall its raindrop tears –
I pray for shelter from all pain
But if I am caught unsheltered in the rain
Please, dear Lord, shelter me under your wing

Thunderbolt and Lightning!

Tears on my Pillow

August 23, 2015August 23, 2015Vonita Leave a comment

The rain started to fall. Softly at first. You know that quiet calming hum of raindrops falling. And then the thunder started. I lay in bed surrounded by pillows, and allowed myself to be comforted. By the world crying in harmony with my own tears. The rage of the thunder matching the rage of my own heart. I felt at one. And even though I knew my world would never be the same, even though I would have to find a new way, I knew, yes I knew, that everything would be okay. That once the storm had passed and my tears had dried, that I would find the strength to rise up again.
