Rain Shadow of My Heart


        Rain Shadow of the Heart

Standing under my umbrella
with rain kisses.
On our hearts and faces, they
did amply fall.
Whatever happened to that you
and me, after all?

The dinners we so joyfully and 
laughingly cooked.
Those enchanting times in bed,
when I looked in your eyes and
not a word need be said.
Our jaunts in Lincoln Park, oh!
Your tenderest hand in mine.

Now, it was time to let go.
For the last time, I embraced you.
The rain still falling on my heart
And face though.
The joy of my life, my soul's echo.
I, still see your rain shadow.
Imagine your voice in wet whispers,
Saying..."I love you, so."

Imaged so poignantly, Panagiota. You've got me riveted when you apply the 'Chicago touch' (as in Lincoln Park). Can just picture that rain on the umbrellas in that magical area. So nicely penned. :) gw

I can see the Chicago section I mentioned. This was based on a long relationship. That rain scene was on Chestnut Steet near Michigan.... Panagiota xxx
