Late Night Rain

a little late night writing

My roof is under a waterfall

The rain tries to shush me

Making a quiet hiss

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The rain has been let out

So suddenly, fierce and hard

Like tears held in for far too long

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Thunder bemoans the falling torrent

The loudest of all whimpers

Despairingly Harmonious 

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Our moans intertwine

And though we both weep

The rain still helps me try to sleep

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

It is amazing how our mood filters our work and flavors our words. Wonderful poem I loved it

this is wonderful, i love how you described the rain and its affects on all the persons, places and things you mentioned.

it's like finding comfort in those horrible situations that make you toss out of bed and your eyes blood shot.

lovely piece :) xx

Beautiful. To me two children convincing themselves there is nothing really to fear - but maybe there is. "Thunder bemoans" and "despairingly harmonious" appear to me wisdom with child like insight, wonderful insight.
Nicely done.
Thank-you
