*I Will Cry*

If this world really mattered,
Why does it bleed?

I could tell you how much I love you,
But, that will never heal the pain.
I am never at peace.
Every day I cry for grace. 
Every day my tears engrave a large hole.
A rich perfume redolent of rain- 
-the only stain in my soul.

What has become of the sun?
Where have all the stars gone?

I am a sinner! 
A tapper on the roof,
I fell without angel wings!
A small ripple that splashed into the pavement crack.
I couldn't be saved!

I am a lonely bard
I have no song to sing.
This empty ballad is my home.
A feathers against the dying wind- 
-my only expression.

I will cry'
Raindrops from the sky.
Tears from a simple narrow-minded girl,
Water wept into this sorrowful world.

I will cry’
A view you can’t erase,
A window you can’t shut; 
Tears you can't brush.

I will cry'
A river that flows into the night of days.

I will cry' 
like a child, and nobody can take that away.

I will cry- once more...
No one will ever care, 
That I cried!

PS..... Please remember the smell of earth after rain.

I was going on a blind date and walked across town
The weather wasn’t kind, rain was pouring down
It was my friend’s sister and he arranged the date
She was nowhere to be seen, maybe just running late.

Then a girl with a red umbrella came towards me
Despite the pouring rain she was beautiful to see
She said” Sorry I’m late my bus it broke down
I’ve just had to walk half a mile across town.”

“Get under” she said “Come and take shelter”
I did as she asked and then I was beside her
I’d never noticed before and what a surprise
She had an angelic face and beautiful brown eyes.

Our eyes then met and to me that was a good sign
And from this day forward I vowed she’d be mine 
Never in my life had I ever felt this way
I was lost for words and didn’t know what to say.

I held her closely and we looked at each other
I would never have met her but for her brother
Then she pulled me closer and we started to kiss
I was in seventh heaven, oh this was pure bliss.

I thought in my mind, this girl would be my wife
And I was already planning the rest of my life
I’d marry her, buy a house and start our own family
Have holidays at the coast; go swimming in the sea.

I then heard a loud ringing, it had just turned seven
Lying there wide awake, I was no longer in heaven
Sometimes things are just not what they seem
The angel with brown eyes was just but a dream.

I got ready for work and then went to catch the train
The sky was full of grey clouds and it started to rain
As the train was pulling out I glanced over to my right
Stood holding a red umbrella; was the girl from last night.

Umbrella

There she stands 
Centre stage for all to see
Tall and slender 
Precariously she balances.

I reach out for her
Draw her to me 
My hand skims her body 
Slowly reaching her skirt.

Playful fingers find hidden areas
Delighted her legs spring forth
Displaying the very beauty
Of her delicately adorned skirt.

Gaily she dances around
Dizzily twisting and turning
In the brightness of day shading
She gently tends to my needs.

Personal ballerina takes to toes leaping
Merrily bobbing up and down
As emotional to her performance
Clouds cry a thousand tears for her.

Reaching our destination
Slightly shaken, she leans
Watches me quietly drips
Against the wall.

Reminiscent of the day's fulfillment
We acknowledge one another silently
Restful knowing we shall be
One once more.

THE UMBRELLA OF LIFE

There is an umbrella called life
Spread over all the earth
It contains some strife
But it also has great worth

This red umbrella provides protection
From the problems we all face
We have not been granted perfection
As we run the course of life's race

But we have a Redeemer to look to
When the strife is hard to bear
He will always see us through
With gentle loving care

When the heavy rain is falling
He is there to calm the storm
He hears us when we're calling
And He keeps us from all harm

Call upon Him when storm clouds rise
He will protect you from the strife
He will give you bright blue skies
Underneath the red umbrella of life

Premium Member - Thoughts Under An Umbrella -

Weep not your grief, when July says goodbye

Of the massive dark rain clouds, we seek shelter

Sing the melody without the words, a rainbow shines

It remains to see the glorious wonders of nature

A choir of harmony, August whispers words of cheer

The Trail of a Raindrop

Sudden rain brought me
under your umbrella
for the first time.
For the first time
you were so close to me
with your fragrance.
The umbrella was
not big enough
to cover both of us.
A raindrop was trickling 
down your forehead.
I was following it's trail
without listening to you.
Your words couldn't touch me
like the raindrops falling outside.
The trail of that raindrop
uncovers some secrets for me,
your eyes were bluer
than I thought and your
dimples deeper.
I discovered a beauty spot
below your left ear lobe.

Today,I know about all your 
beauty spots....
But still now in a rainy day
I want to walk with you
under the same umbrella.

We stroll beneath the Eiffel Tower,
          Caught amidst an autumn shower,
               Just my petite amie and me,
     Snuggled warm and dampness-free.

Bound to hear true romance call,
          Close 'neath our crimson parasol -
               Her little dog takes shelter, too,
     (Chance for a stolen kiss-or-two).

Oh, blessed am I to be your fella,
          Your lips, bright as our red umbrella,
               Juicy fruits, fresh from the vine -
     Succulent when pressed to mine.

So, let the droplets dance and spatter,
          Sweet its song, that pitter-patter,
               The bubbles in our day's champagne ...
     How wondrous, Paris ... in the rain!

Premium Member - An Umbrella For Two -

The faces are lifted 
                 towards heaven
                 Rain falls 
                 like tears from 
                 a grieving sky 
                 The perfect moment 
                 Under an umbrella for two 
                 You will see that the sky is singing 
                 and shelves every moment on this earth

Turn Your Umbrella Upside Down

In a rain 
downpour
to keep from 
getting wet,
we open 
an umbrella
put it 
overhead,
but yet........
I wish 
to make
a suggestion,
that may 
take 
a moment
to catch on,
for after 
giving this
quite some 
thought,
an idea 
upon me 
did dawn!

There is 
another
type of 
downpour
for which 
this tool 
could be 
used!
Now 
take a second,
and give it 
some thought
for this 
new use
I doubt 
you'll refuse!
If the 
downpours
are blessings 
from Heaven,
in such 
"ABUNDANCE"
that you wish
not to 
drown,
you might 
want 
to consider
trying to 
catch 
every drop....
"by turning 
your 
umbrella
upside down!!!"

The very 
idea
that the 
floodgates 
of Heaven
would be 
opened 
with such 
a deluge,
means the 
downpour 
of blessings
would cover 
the earth
WOW!!!....
Now this 
would really 
be HUGE!!!
So I hope 
in your 
life
good things 
come your 
way
that give you
big smiles 
and 
no frowns,
because 
when it does
you'll want 
to be 
prepared....
"by turning
your 
umbrella
upside down!!!"

Your Umbrella

If you let a smile
Be your only umbrella
Expect a wet butt

the door has been closed

you stand outside in the rain

soaked in your despair

open your bright umbrella

storms pass; walk sprightly onward

The Red Umbrella Hideout

It was a dark wet night...rain over head..
Sheltered us close.....an umbrella red.
Breathing moonlight ....in your silent air.
My eyelids closed ..inside your hug and care.

The fragrance of water ...intoxicating wine.
I was drunken deep... in the fruit of your vine.
Soaking showers trickled...the transcending time .
Redundant words played... a rhyming pantomime.

A kiss smelling vanilla... whispered all untold.
My face cupped inside.....your soft fingered fold.
I quenched my thirst ...in your sea ...submerged.
In the red umbrella hideout....our lips converged.

Did I catch cold in the rain? Or is it  your shiver?
The ripple of your touch? A  wave made me quiver.
Ardent affection .... relieved a fancy dream...
Revealed the reality.....of a  love supreme.

         Beautiful parrot
            clad in white.
               It's a...

          bonds well
       with humans.

          Dazzling bird in flight!

Premium Member Underneath the Red Umbrella

Underneath the red umbrella,
my Johnny stole a kiss from me,
so I felt like Cinderella,
for like a handsome prince was he.

Despite the cold, I melted when
underneath the red umbrella,
Johnny gazed into my eyes; then
whispered softly, “You’re my bella.”

Oh, the kiss from that sweet fellah!
Although the rain kept falling down,
underneath the red umbrella,
deep love  is what would make me drown.

Romance cut short – though filled with bliss  -
just didn't fill a novella.
Yet I cannot forget that kiss
underneath the red umbrella.
