I love rain, especially at night...The whole world glitters and shines.
I feel so old.
I feel so young...
I jumped in the glistening pools...
Pulled the umbrella from over my head and looked up...
The drops fell into my teary eyes, they filled and flowed...
Rivulets of mascara coursed down my cheeks.
Finding and following the path of forming wrinkles and marionette mouth lines.
Down my neck through my scarf and blouse straight into the heart of me.
The mixture of tears and rain washed the pain of loving you away.
The pain of missing me...
I chased the pain filled river to the sewer grate and watched it flow through the bars...
Away from me into the salty ocean.
Which we all know is made from the tears of women.
I can go for days without stepping into the sunshine but give me a beautiful rainy night and I'm putting on my boots...
I guess I'm a little strange that way.

I LOVE dancing in the rain!!!
I love the way your write, and just on a whim like that? Makes me miss all of my creative writing classes. Such a lovely blog you have here. I like the softness of the picture. x
Beautiful words! You're a talented writer.
And what cute boots they are!
Beautiful post. Your writing is so inspiring.
Wow you're very talented. I could relate to the entire poem except for not going in the sun. I can't wait for rain because in AZ there isn't any!
I used to run in the rain in MI, it never stopped me. I can feel the way it felt peeling my clothes off after a rain as I type this. Oh the memories;)
