Notes About The Poem

Musings of the Mind Poetry Contest

Sponsored by: Ink Empress 

I Kissed the Rain

The mountain was wrapped with tall, dark pines
Gloomy, heavy clouds obscured the sky.
Flashes of thunder lit up briefly above.
Timber crackled across the dark slopes.

A ghostly cold wind whirled around the mountain.
Pines swayed against each other.
Then, drizzly rain started to fall.
Birds, small and large, scuttled to find shelter.

We ran together holding wet hands.
Yet we were in love and laughed throughout.
Don’t blame us for getting completely wet.
We danced, slipped onto the wet soil.
I lifted up my head, I kissed the rain.
So did she. We kissed so passionately.

Until we came to the end of the muddy path.
We ran up our new wedded house unto a hot steamy shower.
It was not rain that fell on our faces
But we did not care as we continued our kisses.

Hello Victor, As someone who spends a good couple of hours out on the trails every single day, I know exactly how fast a path can turn from quiet to chaotic when the pines start swaying and the sky cracks open. Most of the time, the instinct is to huddle up or scuttle for cover like those birds you mentioned. But the way you two completely leaned into the downpour, laughing, slipping on the wet soil, and literally kissing the rain is a beautiful act of defiance. It’s that exact, uninhibited spontaneity where the elements don't matter because the company is everything. A wonderful, atmospheric read. Blessings, Daniel
