It Rained That Day - 20 Titles

IT RAINED THAT DAY — Twenty Titles


Many, many long years ago ~
   In moon glow, a tall ship.
      Marianne in shades of blue.

An infamous legend, her Captain’s call.
   She was caught, trapped.

Immensely vast — the open sea.
   There is so much heartbreak to see.

An infinite ocean, black powder.
   His captive sighs, “What must I do…”

Dancing with the devil
   by the shifting candlelight.

The shadow on the wall.
   The warm downward spiral.
       Drowning in his lust...

...it rained that day
