Best Allegoryrain Poems
Rain descends like heavens anguish on streets
Where souls cower in doorways, shivering.
A mindset pervades the city – that’s mine.
More by urgent need ignore the deluge!
I think of magic and incantations.
I think of prayers and words of power.
I think of souls whose time is not their own.
I think in awe – divine intervention.
Sheets of rain wash the streets like water
On a tray. The cities tilting as a sea
Saw and dizzy notions gather in pools
Along its gutters – divine intervention?
Just then the rain stops abruptly, clouds pass
Mindset disperses – all seems well again!
Heat.
Rising off the pavement
in vaporous waves,
seeping through every crack.
Its forked tongue whispering
illusions in your ear.
Your mind sees pictures
that aren’t really there.
Its coiling tail wraps
around your body,
sweat dripping
from every pore.
You try to escape but the poisonous
gas follows you everywhere.
Nowhere are you safe
from the burning grip of heat.
Only the power of rain
can deliver you from this hell.
For the rain can repair
what the heat destroyed.
The coolness of rain can
wash away the dirt and grime.
It soothes the burns and
cleans the wounds.
Come, oh rain,
and heal our broken bodies,
deliver us from this
world of flames and pain.
