After Clouds DepartShe thinned to vapour, blue as longing's edge,
while we searched skywards, calling her lost name.
Wind replied in whispers no one could catch–
just hollow notes strung on a frayed thread.
Now dusk repeats her gesture: palms upturned,
spilling light where her shadow once poured.
We drink the rain, still tasting her farewell.

A High RainYesterday was hot, it nailed
its peeling skin to a desiccated air.
This morning, rain is falling,
but it has yet to land -
a weightbearing sky creaks
though it does not break.
Above straining clouds
a dam has broken, perhaps the deluge will
crush all before it,
but not yet,
earth’s frying pan is lit and smoldering.
The wilting dawn cannot wash its face,
bedsheets smell...

Rain, and the Body RemembersThe body remembers…
What the mind politely forgets.
How rain once meant survival
How cold once meant fear
How being held...
Was once the only god that mattered.

Go summer, come autumnDays too long for the sun to bite still hard,
All trees bring forth leaves that are mostly green,
Different hues are what summer fails to preen,
With grace, yet with force, summer's hands bombard.
Rain may catch even the prepared off guard,
Its runoff sweeps paved roads fresh, clear and clean,
Its grains and pebbles make the oceans glean,
Yet...

The WandererThere is a place he knows of rest
it is a place in wooded mist
and days of wandering in sorrow ways
his broken heart returns this day
she's waiting weeping by the door
and cries his name her silent call
her voice of whispers through tower of tree's
like soft cloud leaves upon the breeze
there's gentle rain on steps through out
but...

Potholes In My HeartThe scent of wet Earth rises a ghost
from beneath the lavish bungalow.
and above the high-end ceilings
and chandeliers which never flicker.
Nostalgia trickles down like sweat
Glimpses of plastic buckets
catching rain and our salty tears
flood the eyes.
Flashbacks strike like lightning
remembering the only toy-
an abandoned kite I tried to fly in rain
dampens my spirit.
Loud wails roar like thunder
hearing the...

African RainIt falls with grace.
Metallic bawls hail the strength of zinc roofs.
At the mercy of the thatch,
Drops drip from needle points of skeletal
Palm fronds.
Particles of rain descend on thresholds
Among dewed terrains.
The petrichor befriends the atmosphere,
Caressing limpid warmth with floating cold.
Lightning, a white dancing Anaconda, races with speed,
Filling the tenebrous plains with lights of hope.
Troubled skies ululate...

The Things I Never BuriedI never buried certain names,
They lingered like a scent in air.
I whispered them through window panes
And found them waiting everywhere.
I never buried childhood roads—
The ones I walked with bleeding knees.
They live inside the softest odes
And bloom like ghosts among the trees.
I never buried what she said
The night the silence broke our bed.
Her voice still echoes...

The Indigo Crest - On the Commemorative Stamp of - Purple Rain By Prince
Written July 14, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Robert James Liguori

So tiny, yet so vast: a square of purple flame,
A postal stamp formed from forever lame.
Houses at its center a half-cast, cloudy glass,
Trapped in a gilded cage of grief and...
