Best When It Rains Poems
Sometimes you can't tell it's raining
until you see the puddle
Drops floating, cascading down to earth
so seemingly subtle
But far from dainty are these drops
displacers of dirt and dry
Each shatters like a nuclear bomb
cast downward from the sky
The wreckage of which is washed away
absorbed into the ocean
The waves are drops fighting for life
drowned by undulate motion
Unable to resist polar attraction
In appearance, simple and small
This complex network of H and O
becomes bigger than us all
When It Rains It Pours
Idiomatic sayings are such a delightful way of expressions,
The truth in them may sometimes stretch our imagination..
When it rains, it pours is one such expressive gem of wisdom..
When troubles in numbers mirror realism in a weather phenomenon..
Here in Bolehland widely hailed as a Land of Endless Possibilities...
Ernest concerted efforts are put in place to deny negative publicity...
Like minded politicians are staying resolute behind a highly ranked civil servant..
Whose exalted position demands he be above controversies as a public servant...
Electorates on the ground are increasingly befuddled and anguished each day..
As snippets of less than positive news and episodes are revealed each day...
It is widely accepted that the door of opportunity closes while another opens..
Likewise all tall tales of lies and deceit, numerous are the twists and turns...
Here in Bolehland, there is outright shock and disgust at the latest turn of events..
After months of in-depth investigative reports, no one could comprehend...
When the highest legal prosecution office in Bolehland triumphantly blared...
Despite the voluminous reports and papers, there was no crime to declare ....
The presumably guilty topmost civil servant was declared squeaky clean...
To top it all, he was so honorable as to have had returned millions unseen...
The gossip mill is rampant and unflattering over this latest seal of innocence..
More so when there are incoming news of global inquiry and investigations...
The court of public opinion is out there in the streets of Bolehland...
To the man in the street, he is seeing multiple acts of Houdini first hand...
But as the proverbial wisdom has so aptly been used when troubles abound...
When it rains, it pours, especially for someone in high office in Bolehland.....
To all interested, seat back and watch the melodrama as it unfolds by each day...
When it rains, it pours should hopefully reveal the elusive truth one fine day...

When it rains, human tears drench the heart and soul
When it rains, heavens tears washes away pain and sorrow
but,
When it reins, there is control, mind rules over heart and soul
When it reins, direction and purpose will always play their role
and,
When it reigns, choice vanishes, the heart submits to the mind
When it reigns, contentment rules, peace and joy you will find
Derek John Hamilton November 23,2015
The rain is pouring
With the sun shining brightly
Now a rainbow is showing
After the rain passed
the ground is drenched with water
Being thirsty the ground drinks
Time stops when it rains
Memories start to play in my brain
My life is mixed with laughter and bliss
You are on my mind whenever it rains
I can feel more when it rains
I can smell the woody refreshing green
My heart beats and it's filled of joy
I miss you knowing you are here
I look at the roads when it rains
I wonder how many times we walked , here and there
Every Time we walked we tightly held hands
I knew it in your eyes that forever together we will stay
When it rains ,some times it pours
When it pours, there might be a storm
But I know we will always be fine
As long as we keep walking on one way
Sometimes, when it rains
I like to sit alone and watch the rain
Listing to the pouring rain's beats
With no stress, no deep thoughts and no pain
Sometimes when it rains
The winds keep knocking on my door
The rain starts to dance behind my window
They don't want to stop and want to dance more
Sometimes when it rains
The soil is not thirsty and no longer dry
The flowers begin to bloom
The bees are hiding, they don't want to fly
Sometimes when it rains
The birds go back to their nests
Feeding their children with love
Protecting them from the rain with their chests
Sometimes when it rains
The blood is running faster through my vein
Suddenly I'm feeling so amazingly high
Like crazy I take off my shoes and dance under the rain
Though when it rains, it pours
As life threatens to swamp and flood
As life keeps closing all my doors
As I'm forced to pay in blood
As life threatens to swamp and flood
All I need is for you to stay
As I'm forced to pay in blood
Together we'll find another way
All I need is for you to stay
Show me that they won't get us to turn
Together we'll find another way
Together you and I will learn
Show me that they won't get us to turn
Show me that we won't always lose
Together you and I will learn
That they won't make us choose
Show me that we won't always lose
And we won't drown in the coming rain
That they won't make us choose
'Cause sometimes life is more than pain
And we won't drown in the coming rain
As life keeps closing all my doors
'Cause sometimes life is more than pain
Though when it rains, it pours
When It Rains
the sky is never blue
lightning strikes the earth
like when craters hit the moon.
When It Rains
you'll most likely fall asleep
now i'm glancing out my window
looking at the living trees.
When It Rains
we all hope it goes away
cause were waiting for tomorrow
just a lovely sunny day.
When It Rains
when It Rains
there can be a flood
right outside your door
and now your waiting for your love
but it could be something more.
When It Rains
people run inside
earth and human nature
they just started to collide.
I gotta go now
so i'm going to close my eyes
i will see you later cause i never say goodbye.
When it rains it definitely pours with me.
Either I have way too much time on my hands for months literally,
or I'm so busy without any free time at all for months for anybody,
but more unfortunately, absolutely no free time for yours truly.
Yes, when it rains it truly does pour when it comes to me.
I guess I should feel thankful most sincerely
during times of "way too much time on my hands for months literally,"
because I'm often unemployed during those periods regularly,
but apparently, that still has not yet hurt me financially,
but I'm NOT rich by any stretch of the imagination,
so don't even think of trying to get a loan out of me.
I'm just your everyday hard working blue collar stiff,
who just happens to know how to manage his money.
When it rains, it snows
After it rains, it shines.
After she smiles, she cries
And I do not know why
Some say its nature
But baby you've been through a lot,
The tears, the lonely nights, the broken heart
Which is cracked, its been shattered to the point where
You can't even puzzle the pieces back together.
Your heart is as light as a feather
But it pounds like a bass drum
Playing so many different sounds
Asking for the same love
That you've never found.
You smile throughout the day
Just to protect your hidden frown
But I look into your eyes,
I read your body language,
All I see is a crooked smile
A broken smile
I think you should recreate it.
Baby don't let him steal away your beauty
Just like he stole your heart.
He put it in a cage where its trapped and where its locked.
Your heart is cracked and girl its chopped
And if you dont steal it back
It'll forever be a rock rock.
Can't you hear your heart?
Can't you hear the sound? Boom!
Can't you hear it cry?
Baby I forgot
Your heart is a rock forever now.
A rock has no life
Therefore your heart has no life.
Why did you trust that man with your love
Until it died?
It was right after the sky had turn dark
My life change or more like I walked off my path
Every time it rains despair comes down
Sucking me into a black hole
No matter how much I try to break free
Demons demand a ransom from me
Rain rain go away that's all I could pray
But barrels rumble through the sky taking my fear away
As I stare through the window waiting for the rain to stop
My mind shifted on the path I once walk
Wishing I was that boy again
Thinking I was so close but yet faraway
Holding on to this youthful desire
Of wanting to be the best at what I do
After the rain I tend to forget what happen that day
For when I open my eyes the sky is clear
And for some reason I feel better in every single way
*WHEN IT RAINS*
When ponderous rain slap earth like rocket
We envelope ourselves into big blanket
But others lie on the floor without jacket
With water rolling from the roof into their bucket
There they lie close to their wastebasket
Everybody respects the fog
Clothes flee the rope without utterance like a monologue
The Rich man take in their dogs
Lazarus brings out their mugs
Our people go out to struggle in a pirogue
During this rain provision,
There is agricultural productivity to the nation
But if in excess supply causes erosion
Meats added to some pots
Others have nothing in short
Homes hardly purchase maggot
Vote in dry and vouch when it rains
Graduates hustling in the rain
People baptised on ATM queue
Vehicles visit their hospital
Network on vacation
Lives and property at stake
Pot holes draw the various maps
The depth and numbers measure our nation's goodness
Wells on our road
Is yours as deep as ours?
Ours never run dry
Leaders ashamed to fetch from it
They splashed it on mama's tomatoes in the market
They splashed it on that prophet's white garment
Look at the road to our schools
Where future leaders learn
Look at the road to a leader's village
The road to Banks, hospitals,churches, mosque, and shrines
Look at that old man carrying it's bicycle
They are splashing it on us
Look at that man with splashy cars and manifesto
Look at him with cups of rice and promises
He is inside his mansion when it rains
Look at your body.

To her from him...
They say "when it rains, it pours."
The absence of your love is causing a mental war.
Since you been gone things just aren't the same.
Beneath my breastbone my heart screams your name.
It was just this morning I was going through pictures of us together.
My world was still storming and I wondered if I could shake this weather.
I just can't keep going on like this forever.
Why do I feel like a pawn in every endeavor?
I long for your caress but my emotions are in chains.
I feel this profound loneliness but only when it rains....
To him from her...
When the sun comes out, I feel you're nearby,
The sadness goes away, and the wind carries my sighs,
The longing in my heart, to just start anew,
To just kiss your lips and show you how much I truly love you.
A storm comes in and washes my face,
But every drop is with a tear that says you'll never be replaced,
Waiting for your love, just standing in the rain....
A collaboration with "Jimmy Anderson"
He wanted to write something together,
so off of his idea I wrote the second verse.
its nothing personal: inspired off my name slightly i think though.
When it's raining I feel mad and sad
The continuous hamming of the raindrops
As if echoes of my distant ghostly past
As they hit the roof top of my room
Like taunts from an invisible mocker
The darkness when l look through the window
Blurry like the uncertainties of the future
The rumbling thunder in the black sky
Sound like signalling of an impending disaster
The flashing lightining cracking the dark night
Strike like unforeseeable calamities
The rains make me feel mad and sad
As I sleep awake on my ageing bed
As my thought drift with the falling rain
And my lonesome mind sip through my soul
Like raindrops sipping in the ground
The wind blowing and whistling
sarcastic songs
To my depressed heart and rudderless thoughts
The quietness of living sounds
As no bird would be singing in the rain
The roar of a distant vehicle in the dark
Reminding me that I am still with the daffodils
And my predicaments are still with me
While tomorrow waits,it awaits with a dampened ground
That I would tread with my bare feet
And the cold wet ground mirrors
It mirrors the cold souls I will meet
It makes me mad and sad when raining
I fall into scary pits of dispair and distress
As the rains sing, "here the new cycle comes"
Reminding me of the cycles I go through
Ever moment, every year and every stage
That keeps kicking me around and round in circles
Waiting for the proverbial call
When I will leave all the greens and all that glitters
To the dark that waits in gloom
To the future that eagerly awaits
That I fear will devour me to nothing
To nothing I can imagine
~where do the birds go when it rains,
do they hide in the trees or lite under the window panes,
or under nix the house eves -well?~
