Poetic as a lover's pen,

Poetic as a lover's pen,
The rain, it makes me think again.
Falling slow and falling slower.
Falling candid, low and lower.

At my feet, they pool and stay,
And fearful I will run away,
For memories too much to bear
Are soaking deep into my hair.

Steady I must make my thoughts,
Falling now in little drops.
I calm myself as raindrops fall,
Letting, now, those thoughs to loll.

Release yourself into the storm
and lay you now in nature's arms.
Forget the past and live to breathe
Forget the lies and never grieve.

Memories that fall from skies
Will always stop and rest on eyes.
But to keep from having to repeat,
Remember, they're just puddles at your feet.

    Great poem, thanks for sharing.
    I especially love the last stanza.
    "they're just puddles at your feet" really puts the effect memories can have into perspective. good job!

    great job

    Deep write you have here..I was drawn to the line
    "forget the lies and never grieve"
    That struck a key in my mind..To lie to someone can cause so much hurt even the little white lies..Thanks for sharing
