He strode out into the rain
Smiling subtly
There was a controlled ecstasy
To his movements
Like a subdued explosion
Like meeting an old friend
Peter, cascades
Patcher, plummets
To the beat of
Tip tap slippers
Sploshing in unison
To the tune of the falling rain
Arms outspread
He was as they say
A walking cliche

And as night dawns
My face takes a beating
My heart put to the test
Darkness overwhelms
Like a swift arrow
Aimed straight at my soul
For love was a sin
Loving her was just this
Stabbed like a pin
And tonight I fall
Lifeless and unconscious
Anticipating
For that once tender feeling
Pain
