Poetry: rain

Poe-Ahh-Tree + Wordstew
Who Am I? Just a woman falling madly, deeply, truly in love with life. A poet/writer having a wild affair with words. A person whose mission is to live from a place of joy, embracing all that's beautifully human about myself, and moving deeper into the EVOLUTION & the REVOLUTION of me. Still curious?

It’s raining….*s-i-g-h*
CD player is loaded (Peabo -act like ya know, Najee, Will Downing, Rachelle Ferrell, Kem, Jill Scott).
And poetry is flowing freely.
And so, I share this new scribe with you.
Enjoy!
RAIN
raindrops fall softly
washing the world gently
the same way your words wash over me
tickling my senses in new and different ways
i close my eyes
see us in soft silhouette
as cool raindrops mingle with warm kisses
i feel myself baptized by something bigger than us,
passion caresses my spirit
lifting me up, claiming me
bringing me peace and contentment
you trace the path of a solitary raindrop
as it slowly trickles down my collarbone
into the lacy warmth covering my heart
resting your hand there,
you will my heartbeat to sing your name
in the key of me…
lightening flashes…
your smile sears across the sky
thunder rolls…
my body trembles as you memorize its terrain
rain pours down on us in waves…
we melt into each other, riding the crests
i murmur your name into the vulnerability of your neck
and lose myself in the storm of us…

“you will my heartbeat to sing your name
in the key of me…”

Niceeeeeeeeeeeee!
UKD - “keys” are automatic when it’s the RIGHT one. For real. “la la lal lallala” LOL
Peggy - thank you as always! Loved your piece from last week. I couldn’t even comment. I don’t know how you managed to scribe so quickly & elegantly what I’ve been trying to get on paper for months. You are my shero! :O)
Something else we have in common. Writing to music.
GONE GIRL! Witcha bad self!
Yep. It is rare to find me NOT listening to music. I have a bad habit of playing music while “watching”tv. But yes, certain songs/artist just seem to shake the words loose.
