I long to feel the rain pour,
My body aches with muscles shorn,
Can't bear to see you any more: Leave well enough alone.
---
I must needs taste the wet come down,
The water running, swirling round'
Soft, swallow up my heart and drown this hole beneath my breast.
---
Ears strain to whispers-- thunder start,
Rumbling, rolling deep, to thwart
The thoughts that spaced too far apart make me forget myself.
---
Commence with the storm,
Weather no surprise,
Raining, drenching cold,
Blood beats warm inside.
---
Lightening quicken air,
Water take me where,
Cleansing downpour falls,
Crashes over walls.
---
Heavy liquid lands,
Flows up every space,
Swirls the muddy ground
Floods into this place.
---
Black and inky torrent,
Drips on every surface,
Maddening the torment,
Quelching in its purpose.
---
Soak my skin and bones,
Slick me like the stones,
Fly through night, mine-own; I shall lift my light.
---
Climb atop the bridge,
Stance upon the ridge,
Toes sink in the pitch; Worlds shine bright below.
---
Wingspan stretch- full spout,
Fingers spread fanned-out,
Open armed about; Laughter burbling up.
---
Liquid strip my clothes,
Beat upon my flesh,
Wash away my woes,
Help clean up this mess.
---
Pitter, patter, pound,
Leaping from the sky,
Raindrops make the sound,
Waves crash by and by.
---
Seek my soul sustained,
Drench me to the core,
Hope interred remains.
Rivulets keep score.
---
Deafening the sheets,
Fill me to the brim.
If this love repeats,
Take my heart from him.
---
Wrap me in the rain,
Steep my soul that's stained,
Fill me up again; Stars mix with the rest.
---
Slap the streets so black,
Rivers, streams attack,
There's no looking back on this broken bit.
---
Slicing through the air of night,
Trees sway forth and into sight,
Winds that whip with all their might; Silence is the rest.
