Inspiring Rainy Morning

Eagerly I arose to welcome winsome spring
Anticipating an ebullient, sun-swept morning
Only to witness opaline skies turn gloomy
Shrouded in dampness of rain pitter pattering
Swirling dust emanating petrichor themes
Scattering dreariness on visage of dawning.

You too were awed, extolling scenic setting,
Lauding crimson hues that darkened swiftly,
Adulating rustling winds swaying maple trees
With echoes of thunder heard intermittently
As gray clouds hung closer, roiling hastily,
Pouring down streams, flooding streets rapidly.

Farther in distance, storm was now fleeting
Where sun’s golden rays began emerging
Scintillating mountains in amber ray beams
Lifting my spirits in birds’ rhythmic chirping
As your intimations warbled amorous hints
Arousing rhythms of romantic heart strings.

Charmed by tempo of dawn’s chromatic arc
As rising sun vanquished remnants of dark,
Lovingly we embraced missives of love spark
Echoing lyrics strummed by doting hearts,
Drawing inspiration from gilded azure skies,
Hypnotized in allure of your enamored eyes.

This puts me in mind of a song by Bobby Goldsboro called "I Love A Rainy Night". I always liked that song because I do love a rainy night. Sometimes I enjoy a morning rain too though. We need the rain as well as the sunshine. Great write here as always. God Bless, JB

Inspiring and sensual, all at the same time. Feeling droplets of rain softly 'pon the skin, while a vibrating melody surrounds lovers. Yes, the rain leaves me in complete awe. In so many ways. This is beautiful, Vijay. My best to you. :) Brandy
