FLOOD

The rain outside, 

She pours, she pounds

As if the Earth Herself

Wept with me...

The crashing thunder echoes 

The beats of my breaking heart

The street has turned to river

Washing away the muck and mire

I wish it would wash away my desire

My yearning for what once was

For what could still be...

For the way we held hands

For the laughter and the Rapture

For the warm Lover's embrace

For the ecstasy that came...when WE did...

For the love that has been all but lost... 

For the memory of joy and pain...

For these the Earth weeps with me

So that she may wash away my pain

All that is lost, all that is missing

.... my Rainbo...
