Rain

.
            . 
        .
it's raining
          .
             .
        voices of the

dead in my memory
 
                 .
                     .

and it's raining

              .
                    .

        of my ever misery

of eerie silence and sadness

          in my life

oh little drops

      and clouds drifting
  
              .
                     .

rain falling            .
                    .
                         .

a whole melancholy of 

dead memories sad

                         .

                 .

      listen if it rains      .

                              .

your regret

                 and your grief

it weeps ancient music

              listen to the drips  f
                                           a
                                             l
                                               l

tortured feelings      .
                    
                                .
                                        . 
                              
                                     .

Casarah Nance November 3, 2019 at 9:59 AM I like it. The words, the presentation, it draws in the reader. Constance La France November 3, 2019 at 10:11 AM Casarah, thank you for the comment, I am pretty sure it reads better on a computer than a cell phone but have not tried it yet, this type of visual layout usually does not display well on a cell !
