Have you ever watched out the window
While driving in the pouring rain
Have seen the dark clouds
Covering the blue sky

Have you ever watched the stressed people
While driving by the other cars
Have seen the sad faces
Hiding thoughts behind it

Have you ever watched the children in the backseat
While standing on a red light
Have seen the laughing faces
Playing with their toys

Have you ever watched the racing raindrops
While driving down the highway
Have seen them getting bigger and faster
Catching up with each other

Until they reach the end of the glass
Winning or losing the race
it doesn't matter when they fall
down in the river on the highway

Written upon brittle hands of bone and skin
The lingering sensations that slip into forgotten memory
Body craving touch like starved children
Singing songs of silence
Like lullabies for the child's weary eyelids to
         Drop...
                      Drop...
                                   Drop...
       Curtains from the rain.

The cloud's lullaby is a lyre
echoing with sweet sadness.
The roses are embraced by a blanket
of clouds.
Of love.
Of need.
Of want.
Sorry for being inactive. Life is getting hectic...
lullaby raindrops*
softly fell on the tin roof
their pitter patter
sent one off to deep repose
*hushed of speechless embrace

it’s raining. when the drops hit the roof, a harmonic sound is made. a melody. it’s a whole new genre of music by itself. so peaceful.
and even though people are bouncing and sulking, and completely soaked by the tears of the sky, it does not change the fact, that it’s raining.
i think the world needed that.

Such is the beauty of rainfall,
How it descends with a sound so dulcet,
How it transcends a feeling so euphoric
And such dazzle it exhibits
Like one, no one would dare to neglect.
But it makes me upset
How chaps romanticize rain,
They are fooled so much by the affection of their beloved
For they do not realize
The way it washes away the pain.

Little raindrops fall on my body
Fusing with my skin;
Oh, how they tell me to live
When they speak to me and tell me to
Nourish, and give life to my surroundings.

One may wonder that how
The rain makes me feel such way.
They fail to realize that the downpour
For me, is just a reflection of the ideal life
I perceive.
raindrops
are just
tears
of fallen Gods.

for these Gods
will never learn
the art of falling,
so they just leave
the falling
to crystal  clear
water.
I decided that every written poem will have it's own translation in both English and Romanian. For how could I forget where I am and where I come from?  

Despre ploaie

ploaia
este numai
lacrima
zeilor cazuti.

intrucat zeii
sti-vor niciodata
arta caderii,
asa ca lasa
caderea
cristalului
apelor.

Lightning strikes again
Thunder rolls over my head
While raindrops descend
