Dreaming the Rains


Photo and Poetry Copyrighted.

I have seen the rain cascading
into abbeys and in sketches drawn
I have seen the brittle in everything
and started off for a new beginning.

After proliferating through many a shores
I have known the joy of flowing past horizons 
Crawling under the dark sky, counting the stars
drop by drop, I inhaled the mist into me.


I have seen the rain cascading

into abbeys and in sketches drawn
I have seen the brittle in everything
and started off for a new beginning.

Zeus draws the stains of lilac shadows
the stains of rain whelming them
Like members of a family, strewn in an alibi
Again scampering for hope amidst chaos.

I have seen the rain cascading
into abbeys and in sketches drawn
I have seen the brittle in everything
and started off for a new beginning.

Lost in translation, Time
could not defeat me, and my ways.
I knew life is tough but the flow never tensed me,
But to lose you, wasn't planned for, even in my dreams.

I have seen the rain cascading
into abbeys and in sketches drawn
I have seen the brittle in everything
and started off for a new beginning.
Again, I daydream.

  2. This is a beautiful poem!  So many beautiful images.  And I loved the repeating stanza.  I can just see that cascading rain

  3. I like rain too, and here I especially like the refrain running through, a healing cascade of words

  4. What a gorgeous poem!  I especially love the phrase "
    Zeus draws the stains of lilac shadows."  The repeating refrain works well, drawing us farther into this daydream.  Very nicely done!  Thanks so much for sharing this with us over at Poetry Jam this week.
