It rained.
It rained upon the mature tree that lives along the river's edge.
A defiant tree that grows against the wind's best.

It rained.
It rained upon the mature man walking his young prancy pup from garbage can to garbage can.
Empty bags to start,
but at the end,
2 full bags in hand.

It rained.
It rained upon my 94 Sierra pick up truck that faces the fog stricken river.
Rain drops glance methodically off of my windshield and at the moment, my shelter giver.

It rained.
It rained so worms would come from hiding and wiggle along the ground.
Wiggling worms that are snatched up by 6am birds with nary a sound.

It rained.
It rained to replenish this paradise and to quench a thirst that never wanes.
A thirst for plush greens that can be admired from every windowpane.

It rained.
It rained on me as I toil and persevere to provide.
It rained and muddied me, a man that puts his pride aside.

It rained.
It rained again this day.
It rained without apology.

written by me... ..

Yesterday it rained
and i fell asleep
the pondering tears of the rain
filled my windows with music
pouring anger from the sky
that made me feel at peace
it rained yesterday
and i fell in love
with the mysterious being who made it rain
and gave me a new reason to live again
the cold ploppy drops
filling me with calm.
it rained yesterday
and the whole town felt it
they all felt the pain
that kept on building itself
the all felt the shame
and the misery
they all felt the life
that was taken away.
it rained yesterday
and i knew i was right
perfect for me
and nobody else.
it rained yesterday
the wind spoke to me
the clouds disappeared
finally freeing the sky.
it rained yesterday
didn’t you see it rain
didn't you hear the beating
the drumming and the lyrics
didn’t you free the freedom?
it rained yesterday
and i felt united
i felt at ease
and the world was mine
the darkened night
filled with horrors and shadows.
it rained yesterday
and it still rains today
in my mind and my heart
as i stumble the halls
clutching my hips
so i remain on my feet.
it rained yesterday
not yet today
so i let my tears rain
and i didn’t let it fall
i just let it flow.
it rained yesterday
and i felt so happy
and so at home.
it rained yesterday
and i ran to the streets
no shoes and a tank top
dancing and laughing
without a care in the world
and nothing but peace.
it rained yesterday
i was happy yesterday

It rained 14 days ago

It was spitting
As my brother would say
School is starting
And I already have a ****** nose

It rained 13 days ago
And I was unlucky
My father left home last night
And never returned again

It rained 12 days ago
It got a little worse
My mother's crying on the sofa
A glass of red liquid on the table

It rained 11 days ago
I'm being ambushed everyday
I'm covered in cuts every day
And I'm beaten black and blue

It rained 10 days ago
It was practally a storm
I could barely walk home
While teachers barely glanced

It rained 9 days ago
It wasn't so bad I guess
A boy went and said hi to me
I barely knew his name

It rained 8 days ago
I now know his name
I keep repeating it in whispers
Into the drizzling night

It rained 7 days ago
He stuck up for me
Why would he?
I'm a boy, a misfit here.

It rained 6 days ago
It was a huge downfall
I cried on this boy's shoulder
And he simply held me

It rained 5 days ago
My mother looks better
The boy came around
And he put a smile on my face

It rained 4 days ago
It got worse again
I'm scared and paranoid
I've got blood on my arms

It rained 3 days ago
He keeps making me crimson red
My cheeks flush when I see him
And I can't help but stare

It rained 2 days ago
I don't believe it
I made it out my closet
And out into the light

It rained yesterday
I can't hide it anymore
He knows and I don't know
What he is thinking now

It rained today
It was another drizzle
As we walked in the park

He kissed me.
A boy kissed another boy!
I kissed him.

We didn't care
About any looks or stares
But the rain hid my tears

He noticed them anyway
Wiped them away
And whispered
" I love you. "
As he kissed me again

The sun shone afterwards
Lightening up our faces
We walked hand in hand
Without another secret or word
