a shy drizzle touches the tired, parched earth
lawns lift their heads, remembering green
dust loosens its grip on windowsills
air cools, carrying the promise of change
porches and people breathe easier
A gust of wind brings silence
Inviting the drizzle to share stories in reality
Not forgetting to whisper longing to nature
Let it fall into the bonds of its law
The grains of the bride's waiting are paid off
To continue the breath that might disappear
Until the cracked mirror in the corner of the room bears witness
Then ashamed of one's own, so tiring reflection
The sway of the green leaves cheers
The sound of crickets sounds so melodious
Let this dream pass in your passion
Until evening greets it with a prayer
A red rose waves its charm
Then returns to its friendly owner
Want to entrust a feeling
Thank you for the drizzle tonight

Luscious laughter peeling out loud,
it’s high pitched timbre fills my ear.
Innocence floods the atmosphere
like syrup dripping through a cloud.
Melody raised feels well endowed
smoothing over all that you hear.
Luscious laughter,
runs through an agitated crowd.
Suddenly the solution’s near,
set on fire and never more clear.
Light drizzle on every head bowed,
luscious laughter.
What goes up must come down
or so they do say
and what goes around comes around
or at least it's on the way
meanwhile I'll bide my time
to see if what goes down does come up
altho' I highly doubt it
for in the case of Titanic
there's no two ways about it
and let's see what it takes
to make snowflakes rise again
the same goes for drizzle
hail sleet and rain
but what about man's junk in space
some returns some stays in place
but who are those expert 'they'
and who knows what gave them the right
to advance the twaddle they do say
DRIZZLING RAIN*

I wander across the desiccated dunes you made
in the valley of my mind, contoured by desire.
I feel deserted like the desolate sands of dune.
As you drift away unconcerned past me
beneath the mystique shroud of the stardust sheen,
my possessed passion sails to the moonlit bay of bliss
for you to emerge out of my dream like an angel.
Your essence stays within me as an indelible image.
Dainty spring descends, drizzling in diaphanous air
the ecstasy tune with the melody of your memory.

Raindrops merrily dance and fall.
Soft music enlivens mind.
Soothing rhythm, calming all.
Alongside blows the susurrus wind.
Soft music enlivens mind.
A symphony so sweet and light.
Sun veiled, but shines bright.
Soothing rhythm, calming all.
Summer rain cools the earth.
Creating in every heart a playful mirth.
Alongside blows the susurrus wind.
As it sweeps, tender leaves rustle,
And slender trees bend and shuffle.
it is a rainy August day in Kansas
dismal?
no, rather drizzle full
An exciting day
I am meeting Molly, my granddaughter
joy parades through my veins
at nineteen, I am thrilled she wants to meet her antique grandma
but she does
she honks and waves
cuter than the last time I saw her
which was a month ago

We twirled amidst the falling rain,
Flowing locks, dripping with freedom.
A gentle touch, our hands entwined,
As we traversed the highways of our lives,
it vanished from view as our eyes met
smiled and gently kissed our worries away.
leaving our reflections
behind
Listen to the rain's gentle song tonight
Feel the tears, they're mine,
Whispering gently on your rooftop.
unrestrained.
Drizzle down the crops
~usually dry in Spain~
raindrops are worshiped
rain is expected
~for a future oasis~
in a new dessert
without any trees
~not a refuge from the sun~
no rain from the sky
RAIN
Monsoon
Getting drenched
Clasped hands, beating heart
Dripping hair, revel in
Gusty wind swaying tall trees

I went for a walk in the drizzling rain,
Remembering all the adversities and the pain,
That I had suffered for all this time,
Trying to maintain my sanity just felt like a crime,
I had pushed myself too far,
All the feelings I had were just bitter and sour,
I just couldn't take it anymore,
I was hurt, torn down and all I wore,
Was a fake smile and a forced laughter,
Everything felt fake, me the slave, my time the master,
Although as I walked around,
Something hit me, so profound,
The rain made a beautiful noise,
Realizing indirectly everything has a voice,
Let the feel be good or bad,
Listening to the drizzle surely made me less sad.
Taking a step back it made me realize,
Thinking about it, I wiped my wet eyes,
That every man is broken and torn apart,
Without him understanding that's just the start,
He doesn't realize the breakdown just makes him stronger,
It makes work harder and last longer,
You cannot stop or even think about quitting,
Try to break your records, even if you end up breaking yourself,
Instead of sitting on the couch, reminiscing.
