Umbrella

The train I missed left me waiting on the platform in the rain, rush-hour commuters splashing past. Then you offered me your umbrella, half-an-hour of conversation, and a smile so warm it could melt chocolate. Now, somewhere between A and B, on an express bound for home, I realise I’ve missed you too.

‘That was the missed moment. I should have put out a hand and taken her arm and said, “Here I am. Ask me. Now. The real question! Tell me. While I’m here. Ask me before it’s too late.”’
- J.L. Carr, A Month in the Country

Blue Umbrella

He'd sing along to the midnight songs.
She'd turn the other way.
He'd run and run to get away.
She'd stay.
Time would fly in their eyes, both dreaming up at the night sky.
All it takes is one day to change a world of what they see.
When they both come to meet under the blue umbrella.

Just a little reminder

Never forget
Who has always held
A umbrella for you.

Pouring Rain

When we hold close
You turn away
When our hands touch
You drift further from day
When things look calm
The tornado rages on
Not even an umbrella
Can conquer the pouring rain

Bus Stop

Television static
Falls on my umbrella
Glass tears popping
At my feet
As I wait for a bus
To somewhere without rain

Grey Day

Grey days are when the clouds puff a tantrum,
Smoking the sky out of its cozy, azure, play-space
With a big fuzzy blanket that covers the high plains,
And no holes for the blue to poke through.

Occasionally, they spout out their tears
And pelt the poor people below
With a loaded water pistol.

And such people sprout out umbrellas,
Or search for storm's shelter,

Yet one person always prefers to drown in clouds' melancholy.

Today was a cloudy day, a particular weather I personally love and live in.

Another attempt for a shape poem. Don't know if it's good. Have a good read though :)

raindrops

surely
You are found in the sound
of raindrops dripping
sprinkling, storming,
coming down in sheets.

You can’t predict the weather.

I am mostly of a sunny disposition, or at least I try to be day by day.
then all of a sudden, I’m not sure how, my sunshine fades away.

I’m left feeling cold again with an overwhelming urge to cry.
no longer is my minds sky blue, it’s grey and gloomy, I don’t know why.

see the weather can be unpredictable and I’m just trying to stay warm.
It’s all I can do some days, not to be washed away with the storm.

So I try not to pay much attention to the weather, I try not to give in, I’ll open up my umbrella to try and protect from the rain within.
