The rain falls like tears,
slow and steady.
These clouds loom overhead.
I can see the light fighting to peak from behind....



There is a gentle release.
The rain is washing the world,
as these tears wash the soul,
leaving a crisp luminosity.
Tender with the reflection
of the areas the light fails to reach.



The area where they meet,
the light and the rain,
the smile and the tears...
Reveals a rainbow.
A spectrum of emotion and color-
with no reachable end.
So beautiful, so touching.

Human nature.
Humanity, and nature.
Complex reflections of one another.
Unending uncertainty,
and unrivaled relentlessness
shows unparalleled misunderstanding.
Blood red lips
Flaxen locks
Sea blue eyes

Delicate hands
Showing her nerves
Clasped, then released

Flawless ivory skin
Conceals a marred soul,
Billows of remorse

Windows to her grave thoughts
Tainted with  dark secrets
That she will never tell.
It's a bit dark for me, but honestly I needed to get what I was feeling out or I was going to explode into tears and confusion in the middle of class. Update: I took the plunge and submitted this to my school's yearbook committee to be published din their annual literature magazine.... Gah! I'm finally in print!! Thanks so much to every one of you for the support!
