Carolyne Lloyd-Hartley Poet I do not know?

Drip, Drip, Drip

Everyday the same old rain
Some days I shelter
Slide to one side
Hide under the canopy
Some days there is no shelter
A sudden storm
Engulfed within black clouds
A hurricane
So ferocious
I pray to be swept away
Some days a drip
A constant drip, drip, drip
Mind numbing drip
Chinese water torture
upon my heart
Some days, no choice
I cry
A steadfast trickle
A stream of infantile droplets
Etching permanent valleys upon my cheeks
Some days the floodgates open
Release a deluge of salty aqua
A thundering waterfall
I cry or I drown
Some days a ray
A slight far away ray
Within my vision, a glimmer
Within my heart
It's forever raining
When you passed away
You carried my sunshine with you


My brother, my best friend
I miss you
I love you
