Watching the Rain With You
watching the rain with you
viewing a smile in the center of the wind
there is no other place i would rather be
the flowers with no name are resting peacefully in your lap
i smile at the contentment that decorates the vibe yuletide iridescent
as the rain continues to fall, you slowly get up from your bistro chair and find your true comfort in my lap
i put my arms around you with pride and an ecstatic disbelief
you ask me out of the blue why most of my poems are so enriched with sadness and heartbreak
i reply by saying there are many avenues in the well traveled states of mind
you nod and return to listening to the rhythm of the rain
that oldie by the cascades suddenly begins to linger in my mind
as you snuggle and find the warmth that leads to the perfection of your satisfaction,
i recall this very moment when it was only a blueprint of a dream
now it is like the ultimate autograph with a reclusive celebrity
the misanthrope and the socialite....sharing a kiss of united similarity
still watching the rain with you....i would not change a thing, and that includes you....
