Rain Tetractys Poems

dreamt of
a poem
forgot the words
As beneath the salty cold brine of tears
silence floats, whilst I’m coloring kohl rain
in metaphors
of regret
across
blood
red
ruby 
carnations
that bleed silken
sonnets for an...

Spill
your ink
on blank page.
Express your rage.
Suppression only leads to mental pain.
Without catharsis, art is trapped in cage.
Trauma will stain,
as you age.
Gain your
stage.
Sage
soul smiles.
It's worthwhile
to tame...

Mist
Slides forth
From the peak
of curving heights  
slants fade in purity, dismal, and droop 
You're now at the same level as the trees.

rain 
falling
from blue skies
nourishing earth
promising that even storms are God's gifts
gracing us with soothing, liquid praises
brought from heaven

with a whisper
kisses caress my eyes and ruby lips

Wind
and rain
bring bird chirps.
Give way to blue
skies, with  flowers blooming in the garden,

In rain,

Our mouths met,

Shared your flavor ...

My lips, still moist with your nectarous sweet ...


Mixed with your gold tresses and pulpy tongue.

I taste that, still,

with a cold face as if I was standing in wintry freezing rain;

Rain
downpour
wash away
the long dry spell
Earth's dull without a pot of gold rainbow

Drought is approaching nearing our front door
life on the line
don't delay
hurry
Rain

Come
I smell
heat lifting
living sustained
Dancing...

Dawn's
Stillness
Invites me
Vermillion hills
Clouds' engulfing tangerine stillness crests
Tension sloughs, blows away like old snakeskin 
Desert rain scent
Cleansing me
Pedal
Flow
Smile
Conceals
Morning’s ride
Heart's treasure trove
Work’s gray walls can't touch my...
