I want to kiss you in the rain
for so long,
that afterwards,
I'll hear the pidder padder
of raindrops
every time we touch

An arrogant frost begins to melt,
dripping from the red shingles
onto the progressively muddy ground,
where dark green lines sprout,
erasing the icy past.

Slow growth of small buds
colored pink, red, yellow, and white
take the dream of warmer days
as a twisty hot mirage
strikes the distance.

Life shakes the leaves off the tree,
as all turns bitterly dark,
orange and brown,
and crumpled up on the sidewalk,
chilling down to the beat
of the pidder padder of rain.

Warmth is removed from sensations,
colors fade from a distance to white,
glazed with the purest icing
as the world turns a new shade of grey,
colored only by the feeling of crystals
glimmering like diamonds.
One full year

It rained the whole time when you were away,
not all the time but at least once a day.
Rain drops made quick bubbles as they hit the ground,
small short lived air pockets I was surrounded around.
While others cascaded along the windows,
guided by air that softly would blow.

The tick tacking and pidder padding,
The smell of the breeze and it's cleansing.

The rain is an unspoken season of it's own,
some play outside while others hide at home.
More often than summer, it comes and it goes,
evoking emotions like the winter's snow.
Yet still helps the withered, all dried up and cracked,
but can't save the dead in hopes to bring back.

And that brings us back to where I'm sitting at,
without you around it feels more like an attack.
Attacking the loneliness and memories of,
The joy we had found from the rain falling above..

..But you're not around and then, only then
Does the rain take the shape of a foe,                        no longer a friend.
With you I found joy when it poured from the sky,
but now I'm alone and would rather stay inside.

The little girl grins with glee
As she runs outside squealing
"Daddy come on! I bet you can't catch me!"

The dad chuckling as he walked out the door
As the little girl yells
"Come on! Once more!"

Looking back at her dad
Not noticing the street
All the neighbors now heard
The pidder-patter of her little feet

Then suddenly that familiar sound
Filled the father's ears
As he yelled out in warning
His eyes filled with tears

The father now sprinting
Despite his bad knee
Saw the car had just missed her
By only a few feet

He kept running to the girl
Hands soon cradling her face
She smiled once more saying
"Daddy let's race!"

He simply shook his head
Holding his little girl
Like a clam in the ocean
Never releasing its pearl

Get Off The Phone
Bricks in warm patterns
Absorbing a warm sun
Rain and snow
Cold or warm
It's the sun’s decision
Made again
To shine on roads of asphalt
Some in concrete
Joints and bumps
Sounds of birds
Sirens of vehicles
Rumble into a  tumble
Trucks included
Lights paved in electricity
Come night
Pidder padder
To enjoy all over
Then to feel and absorb
Water flowing
Intertwined with good and bad
This is reality
Not the one created
On your phone
Enjoy this reality
Free of charge
So get off the phone
Find your individual thought

— The End —
