Long Rain out Poems

My life started with rain,
the steady stream of drops,
hitting the trees gently
and ending its descent to our world
on the wet pavement.
I am on the sidewalk, 
sheltered by a makeshift roof and 
a border of trees.

About to jumpt out of the car
When all of a sudden

Reaching passed her,
He pulled the opening door shut.
She felt his...

song of the mattress


 she slept, wrinkled and small
 on satin sheets, a band-aide covering her mattress,
 knees tucked tightly beneath her chin
 and legs pressed against her breasts
 as if waiting for a gigantic...

The quiet rain dispelled any thoughts of a rain out.
It was Fenway, it was Father's Day, 
And within the sacred realm of wooden bats, 
Unswung and dumbly waiting,
There is the halcyon hope of impact
This on...

Scented Leaves

A garden lost, in the footsteps of time,
Beckons from a garden of scented leaves
Remembering perfection in the cool of the evening,
Memories awaking long dormant memories
Now redeemed by scars;
A path that ends in gates reopened
To...

 When I saw her yesterday
 She came out Ishmael khan book store
 Get in a taxi for Claxton bay

 I couldn't take my eyes off her
 She just takes...

Afraid of the rain, I don’t want to be... I’ve emptied Pandora’s Box on my bed.

For once I want the sun, but I'm denied it,
Don't need to keep the rain out; I provide it,

I know that people think I'm too compliant,
The real trouble is, I'm too reliant,

Simply can't stand this...

Have you ever listen to the sounds of rain ,
As it pitter patters against your window pain?
The sound is like music and it is so sweet,
As it gathers in a puddle around your feet.

They say that the moon can paint a picture of a tomorrow to find,
tinted with feelings and impressions that make rationality blind.
Inherited desire and invisible habits it contains,
challenges and temptations for all it refrains.

RAIN DROPS ON LILAC LIPS

In desolate nook of my barren lawn
drenched by the summer rain out of my sight
a lone plant with thorny branches has grown,
a shy bud between lean leaves sprouts at night.

Crimson petals...

Jaguar’s creep through the bush
We have dogs to hunt them, but in the end they are no match
I pull my poncho over my head to keep the rain out
We are...

As A single raindrop 
Splashes upon my skin,
A fierce and mighty storm 
Is getting ready to blow in.
Raindrop after raindrop
Block the evening light,
The incoming thunder holds 
Back its powerful might.
Running for cover, it's 
Now to...

Even when the skies
stressed out
Hairs are falling
out
Or even angry
throwing a tantrum
and crying
It still manages to
be optimistic and

Realizing the error
of its ways
Not meaning to bring
on destruction to
its fellow beings
A rainbow is an
apology
We should...

She shivers because of the extreme cold
It’s misting rain out of the sky today
She tries to be real strong and oh so bold
But she’s still shaking here in every way
The weather looks to be this...

There is a heavy rain out my window.
It is not a pleasant one;
no, not this time.

This afternoon rain only reminds me
of all the times before
that I wrote about you
while I watched the rain.

Your face is...

1947 Ford and Chevys passing striding horses
identical street cars at the corner
shops with piling in people
purses swinging in the rain

street clocks announcing four thirty
minions off work walking toward home
bicyclist meeting motorcyclist
Peel and St Catherine are...
