When It Rains

A poem taken straight from my constantly-running mind, when I find myself alone with the skies falling.

I want a woman who could let herself go when it rains.

She'd run out into it

She would twirl and spin, and she'd laugh

There would be joy in her heart

While God would shower the both of us with blessings

I'd see her in her purest form

Somehow more vulnerable, more exposed

Than any other time

She would be as a child

Like the years had washed away

And she would invite me to her

This woman wants to share her joy with me

She wants me to play in the rain with her

If I could move, if I could dance like her

And look anywhere near as good

I'd do that for her.

I would be a mirror of her joy

She'd see it and be even more thrilled

We'd be an unstoppable ball of energy

All I can see myself doing is laughing

As I do

Try to express happiness as only I can,

As only I'm allowed

Still, her eyes would tell me: She's happy

She is pleased

And I'd know it and be thrilled

I don't need to dance like her

We are not each other

But we are unified, we're one

Two lunatics dancing in the rain

Untouchable

"Lunatics dancing in the rain" really love that line, it underpins everything, not just the subject matter of the poem, but for me it reaches further, it kind of illustrates the senselessness that is our lives, then it's up to us to assign meaning. You've done that in a very romantic style, nice work.

This painted a very beautiful and happy picture in my head. The ending lines really tied it together. Really optimistic and I absolutely loved it. Great write(:
