Love Poem: Rain Within
Michael Smith Avatar
Written by: Michael Smith

Rain Within

Hearts naive
In clouds
Of her masquerading sun

That’s when
A pocketful of innocence 
Spills into the rain, so numb

And the warmth
Of Love fantasy
Mingles with reality and its coming flood

Caught ever suddenly
Unsheltered
In the down pour of rejected love

Lost like...
Oil swirled rainbows
Drained through life’s gutters of emotional mud

And I wait, and wait
For the cold stinging pain
That never too soon will dry and just be done
