a light drizzle falls
as we walk
hand in hand.
streetlights pale glow
cuts through the somber
dawn.
muted street sounds
keeps our path
tranquil.
damp shoes provide
no warmth to our feet,
but somehow that just
doesn’t matter.
a quiet shadow beckons,
I pull you into it’s depths.
wiping raindrops from your lips
no-one is witness
to an impassioned kiss.
soaked clothing provides
a cold barrier,
yet our romantic fervour
is heat enough.
a light drizzle falls,
but we are oblivious.
cloudy days provide
their own rainbow,
it only takes
a kiss in the rain
to see it.
as we walk
hand in hand.

dawn.

Day 19! I am finding it hard to believe that I have managed to 'stay alive' through the first 18 days of #OctPoWriMo. It is a real challenge to write a poem everyday, never mind to write something that others might enjoy. I am very overwhelmed with the positive feedback I have received, and for that I thank you all.
Today's prompt is rain, and we were given a list of words we should try incorporate into our work. Those words are melancholy, drizzle, damp, rainbow, cloudy, grass and somber. I actually wrote 3 poems for this, and wasn't really satisfied until the 12th edit of the 3rd poem. And so, I share with you today's poem, and sincerely hope that you all get to experience a Kiss in the Rain.
