It rains with more than just teardrops
sky scattered in the wind,
heart calls another land
where love never left
stay
adore
each flower that surrendered petals,
each bloom taken on breeze,
I never cried for longer than a second,
and yet, soul goes on finding reasons
to fill each rainbow with emotions,
to love the rain
for all it brings
and takes.
***
Where did your love stay
hidden in a torrent,
how can you ask the thunder
to move another soul,
to teach heart
where no pebbles stayed,
to care
if no voice heard
a loving word,
inside a hug.
***
Lightning reigns in your home
floating on molten lake,
what was once sunny,
frozen,
what glimmered in the dark,
serene,
yet broken.
***
Where can heart feathers
alight
one more time,
where have you kept your thunder love,
lightning chooses one petal,
next,
can I wish for one love
another,
will I find twin heart in the rain
is it a curtain falling when you smile,
my window
to heartland?
