Pitter, patter, hum.
Steady beat of a downpour.
Crashing against the Earth.
A sound that can be inhaled.
Then exhaled with a crisp undertone.

I live for these days.
The rhythm growing all around
Climaxing into profound music.
Nature speaks in melodies,
Using harmony to explore the depths.

It comes and goes,
The tingle of raindrops on my skin.
Submerged in the aquatic symphony,
I feel alive, all parts of me vibrate.
As if subconsciously I relay my tune.
A note or two off, a bit rusty.

But I find myself.
Matching the ferocity of the storm,
With subtle beauty.
I mentally capture this moment.
Then screaming at the top of my lungs,
I let it all out, setting it free.

Blind Aesthetic
I'm sitting at the edge of my seat
on the edge of this cliff
at the edge of my sanity
looking up at the sun;
it's a total eclipse.
I've been blinded by desire
and my burned wings
have since been clipped.
When there is no tomorrow
time seems to pass you by,
you try to grab it
but you just let it slip.

The gentlest of flowers
are constantly trampled
under heavy boots

There's still that small part
of me that whispers "I know
you'll hurt me, too."
Almost a haiku. You're not the last one but I'm afraid that you'll break me the same and I won't be ok. I'm still fragile. Don't drop me.
