Sidney Beck Poet Verse

Misty Rain

MISTY   RAIN

Rain  washes my  mind  and my  memory;
Pain and heartache  remain  - but dilute.
Stain removal  forever  is  impossible; 
Reign of tears is over, but  my soul is mute.


Eke out  memories that still exist,  though meek :     
Cheek  feathered by her soothing  breath  so  missed,  
Speak her name,  imagine a shower of  her  kisses as 
Weak  end  of  downpour  yields  to mist.
