Poems
Aug 2018
he was rain
He was rain
The spray that came
On a scorching summer day.
He fell from his cloud
Without warning
Kissed the Flickering Flame into submission
All the while, saving a few sweet drops
Just for me.
He was the rain
That kissed the Flame and I.
He was rain
Leaving the Flame and I in wait
To see him on another day.
We danced for him
Inviting him to play
As we spun in each other's arms.
Finally, he joined us
The Flame and I jumped for joy
First side-by-side
Then miles apart.
He was the rain
That made the Flame blush
And set my selfish soul ablaze.
He was rain
Standing between the Flame and I
On any given day.
He soothed the new burns
Marring my skin
Though he always feared
He would put out the Flame.
He was the rain
That loved the Flame
While the both of them
Left me parched.
He was rain
A hurricane
Washing me away from the Flame.
The two of them laughed
Oblivious
And told me to swim
As I began to drown.
He was the rain
Who ran away with the Flame
Just when I thought
They could both be mine.
He was rain
And he slipped away
On a sunny winter's day.
The Flame left, too
Without a note
Left the heart within me
High, dry, and cold
Nothing there to set on fire
Or to give hope.
He was the rain
Who disappeared with the flame
Leaving me all alone.
Now, on this day
I float in a fog.
Floods on one side
On the other, burnt smaug.
I know who I am
And I'm here to stay.
I just wish that the Flame
Didn't take my rain boy away.
Still, he is the rain
Who is in love with the Flame
And I wonder
If he thinks about dry Earth like me
At all.
He is the rain
A fool for the Flame
Just like I was
All along.
A piece I did for a poetry contest about rain.
