Emotional Rain

Emotional Rain (Internal Rhyme) Another night of loneliness She sits waiting for his call In silence she grows restless Emotional rain begins to fall Her phone will not be ringing His calming voice she'll not hear In her eyes there is a stinging Threat of squalls is drawing near Roses from him, she'd long ago dried Their petals lay crushed in her hand "What have you done?" she cried, and slipped off her wedding band In whispers she called his name, remembering his sweet embrace Then to mind bitterness came the look of anguish on her face Days, weeks, then months gone by a semblance of peace, finally found Until the night he called and said, "Hi." In emotional rain she almost drowned No shelter from this impassioned storm No tincture is there to cure such pain Upon her cheeks were rivulets warm, of another downpour of emotional rain

Love this! I really appreciate the imagery. Personally, I LOVE rhyming poems (when they are done well - and seldom are). I know the work it takes. Very well done.

Thanks for reading this one, too, Brian. poetry and rhyme have always been synonymous to me, but every once in a while I have something to say and let it roll. lol Many thanks for your kindness.
