Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

Squalls of Emotion

Another night of loneliness   
She sits waiting for his call
In silence she grows restless 
Emotional rain begins to fall

Tonight her phone will not be ringing 
His calming voice she will not hear
In reddened eyes there is a stinging 
The threat of squalls is drawing near

Roses he'd given, withered and dried 
Fragile petals crushed, lying in her hand
"What have you done to us?" she cried, 
as she slipped off her wedding band

In breathy whispers she called his name, 
remembering his touch; sweet embrace
Then the haunting memories came 
and the look of anguish lined her face

Days, weeks, then months rolled by 
a semblance of peace she'd finally found
Until the night he called and said, "Hi." 
In emotional rain she almost drowned

No shelter from this impassioned storm 
No tincture is there to cure such pain
Upon her cheeks were rivulets warm;
another downpour of emotional rain
