Under My Umbrella a Collab

~*~

With one umbrella and two hands we cover each other 
Eyes so deep and hungry cry for peace to crawl out from under

Shoulders hug as the rain falls like closed curtains on a window
A place to rest my worries and share a smile that brings a glow

I slow my steps so this walk won't end on the next corner
Do I dare touch her hand or let this moment flow like water

~*~

Under one umbrella, two hands come together
The warmth outshining the bitter weather

I gave him a smile that showed I cared
Worries are halved when worries are shared

As rain pitter patters above our heads
Over the umbrella's edge we watch it  trickle like cotton threads
I
We talk of happiness, hopes and fears
Our pace slows as the corner nears

But It's ok to let your fingers slip
For there are no corners in our friendship..


A collab with Tracie Indigo Dreamweaver

This reminds me a bit of the hit song of yesteryear "Bus Stop", by the Hollies. Good descriptive rhyming couplets here.

It's like two sides poem, I enjoyed this so much! I think the boy wants this more than friendship. This reminds me of novel I red which told story from more than one perspectives, but they'll come together at the end. Btw, I love your every lines Michael. Thanks for your sweetest comments on my page. Hug, Dinda :)
