Deluge of Despondency

Rain pounding my soul in torrents

 

Feelings of despair overwhelming

A band around my heart restricting flow

Non-existent love in a world deplete of compassion

Harried existence to a futile end of unacknowledged achievements

A specter in the streets of humanity

Can you see me, hear me, touch me?

I cry alone but I cry for all.

Despair pounding my soul in torrents

 

Reviews

[Rain]

Rain is definately melancholy. It's probably the most used word in poems defining the blues..probably the biggest motivator of great writings, also. This is a good piece to show the connection of weather and our emotions. Good job. Rain..

[Anthony Thomas]

I love the use of rain as a symbol and a metaphor. I really liked this poem. My favorite line is "A specter in the streets of humanity".
