Waiting For Your Rain Dance

I’d rather be no one Than just someone to you I’d rather not exist Than be part of the crew I’d rather disappear Than be unseen to you I’d rather simply fade Than not have proper due I’d rather walk away Than be another dance I’d rather hide my soul Than be second chance You see, dear, I’m different Not just part of a crowd I’m unique, quite special Does this make me proud? I know what to offer I know what I’m made of I know when to play eagle I know when to be dove So my dear, I wait now For when your eyes will see The glory and splendor Of a woman like me You might be blind to color Not see my lovely hue Sweet and precious dear one Here is a little clue Multi-colored rainbow I’m revealed after tears I come to bring you joy To banish gripping fears Each and every color Is there for you to see But you only see shades And not the real me So I will vaporize Much like the morning dew I long to drench like rain To soak you through and through But you must long for me A rain dance must perform Then I will come real quick Unleash my pent up storm I will refresh your soul Bring to life every dream I will lead you by hand To ever flowing stream Once I see my beauty Reflected in your eyes Then I will hover near Whisk you to paradise Eileen Manassian Ghali

This is devastingly beautiful!!!! This Quatrain is out of this world! I like how you manage to revolve around a subject...and how you fuse the whole leitmotif together.

Very elegant in your words. Yet, I have to wonder if this will be the only time your heart will be waiting for something that should be declared & expressed each new day anyway. But, what do I know? Excellent job.

Exceptional writing, sometimes we reach and hope for what is not meant to be. Still the heart wants what the heart wants.

Yes, the heart can be a stubborn little thing. Throwing tantrums and everything! ;) Best to let it have what it wants........thanks for the visit, Richard.

I like how you used a Native American dance ritual as a metaphor. Nicely done
