Artillery Rain

~Perfect Rain~ I can see! All the tribulations around A rage against the burning wind Nobody hears the crackling sounds in my voice Everybody avoids feeling the smoke hidden within A rain so deep it burns all the enamel off my skin A rain that cut my soul in half Two-piece that will not entwine or merge down a dragon path I feel this eternity has no ending blaze Trigger happy rain, extinguishing a bonfire around my rose. I will sleep under the artillery stars tonight With the perfection of my fiery crystal lava teardrops Washing the ashes of my face, Suppressing the overwhelming fear Knowing no one will ever, "BLAME IT ON THE RAIN!" As long as the torch keeps loading another artillery round. ~*~ PD 4/12/12 Trashed #3, sponsor, Broken Wings Date Trashed November 2nd, 2015

The continuity of pain and pleasure- battling for the right to be happy and inspired is what this write means for me PD. - how being ignored, or completely misunderstood can fuel a yearning in us for a stronger self awareness and self respect - 'Extinguishing a bonfire around my rose...' a Master's signature!

I like how you used "dragon path" . . . this entire poem is so intense and awesome. Fiery teardrops...eep. I've felt that before. This is really an exciting, well-written poem. Always, Laura
