it rained and it rained, when monsoon embraced the fall,
eager was the Earth, waiting for their sacred union to befall.
she befriends the tender drizzle and also rough gust,
for she knows the void of love, and awaits in adust.
it rained and it rained until lovers emerged from their concealment,
and in the clasp of love they danced; melted in each other’s scent.
they held hands gentle yet tight enough to twirl and spin,
for they don’t fear judgment; drenched in rain, skin to skin.
Two flights
Of fancy
No Nancy
Not Drew
He's on the
Other side
Of a picture
You knew
Far away
You forgot
To tell
The well's
Never there
Like a wrong
In a witness
Of a thirst
For a care
No then's
Another day
You will or
You won't
Then there's
A better part
Of I will
And I don't
So goes
The story
No sorry
I'll say
Just adust
For a little while
For afar and
Away
Gone with
A let me
Down
Your sure
But your not
Its me with
Two hands
For a hold
With a shot
Two flights
Of fancy
I'm antsy
You see
Yet my first is
A second glance
Of a peace
That's for
For me
