Love Poem For a Rainy Day

This is a love poem for a rainy day
Seem through the streaks 
Of a wet windowpane 
And the eyeful of streaming tears
Escaping to roll down a pale face
To be lost, absorbed with the rain. 

A love poem to be read
Under open skies on 
A cold wet winter morning ,
Taking comfort from walking a dog,
Faithful, nonjudgmental,  offering
A wet nosed kiss, 
Unconditional love and loyalty.

A love poem of sadness 
For what has been lost,
Hope for what may be to come,
And a ceremonial cleansing / 
By cold wet pouring rain, 
Washing away remnants of
A cherished past, 
Regrets for what might have been,
Making  clean starts
For hoped for new beginnings.

A love poem written walking 
On a dark, wet December day
With  the Equinox approaching
And, after Shortest Day, each day
Lengthens by a cockstride a time
Until longer Spring days 
With their  Warmer rains of hope
