Soft Rain

Your eyes say it all
they are a black hole
to your feelings
No one who has been there
has ever returned.
They lead me, mysteriously,
to the place in your heart
that you hide from the world

that place that is vulnerable,
caring for all and easily bruised
by a careless word
from unknowing lips

they don’t understand
your laughter
covers your fear
of being unwanted
or misunderstood

your eyes tell the world
a tale of a gentle heart
brightened by sunshine
drenched by soft rain

To Thunder

The soft rain has turned to thunder
the clouds in my heart push rain to my eyes
I think of your smile,
how it’s no longer mine
and sit all alone in the dark,
in disguise

I say to myself he is only another
another dream gone, blown from my sky
I’ll forget him, I won’t miss him
his memory lingers still
I don’t need him, I don’t want him
I see my arms around him

His eyes burn my soul
I can not let go
my dream, my everything
his warmth, his caring
My perfect dream
His perfect soul

Never together, never a whole
