After the Rains

like champagne

The sun came out this morning

After nights of rain

Reminding me how good it feels

Much like great champagne

 

And on a red rose I saw

Tiny spots of dew

And in those spots, there were

Reflections of just you

 

In one drop your eyes

In another, your lips were near

And as I crouched closer still

Your gentle voice to hear

 

Some would pluck these pedals

And throw them one by one

But I would not treat you so

Might that we become undone

I love how nature is beautifully intertwined with our feelings. When we are grieving, the clouds weep and when we are happy, it's called merry rain. Love indeed enhances beauty. And warm summers are always good

[Dave Brown]

They are indeed
Thanks for taking the time to visit

Warm summer rain has this champagne effect on me. I enjoyed this poem.

[Dave Brown]

mmmm, warm summer rain after a stinkin hot day,
a gift from the gods, either that or from cumulonimbus clouds, I'm never quite sure
Thanks for visit and have a lovely day

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

really like the last line...and the allegory works so well....the rain, listening, the rain, glistening, in the morning gardening for love...Roses bloom...the petals meld.

When I'm seriously in love, I see my lady in everything. This was a great reminder of that.

[Dave Brown]

To both see and sense, both being magical moments

This is one of your strongest poems in the use of rhyme & rhythm & romantic sentiments! Wow! You really topped yourself with this one! Really enjoyed your message & strongly felt how it might be at every step of the discovery process. Love how you paint this scene as slowly unfolding (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Always with the wonderful reviews
We have discussed hiring you as one of our official reviewers, its just the getting by the covid thing holding it all up
Had heard (?) you were under the weather and hope all is going well

I've been sketchy, but not any worse than usual as far as how I feel. I'm in constant pain & life is a balancing act . . . but I'm always content & delighted becuz I live where I do. Thanks for caring!

[Dave Brown]

I have an assholish thingy I have to always deal with (in and out of hospital) so I know what a piss-off health problems can be and I completely sympathize!
Sort of like dealing with this GD site which endlessly deletes replies, among with another dozen endless annoyances
Take care

So sweet and romantic. I like the endless reflections bit.
Very creative!

Thanks, I hadn't done my share of weeding the other day and I had to smooth stormy waters

A friend had a litter (no not actually him- his b***h!!!) of 8 golden retrievers and sold each one for $3,500.00
All time clazy u-betcha
Oh, ya, I was just kiddin about being annoyed yestiday (My so called humor) hope I did not offend you
Take care AP

[Ana Papaya]

Your humour is fine. No worries. I love sharing pics of my dog. I have some on twitter. I should post more here in my photos.
