Until the Rain Stops

Check out my YouTube channel where I read my poetry from my recent book. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_arvp3Q6C8c

Our love is
bigger than paper.
It's made of flesh and
bone and blood.
Words can't tear it apart.
Distance won't taint it.
My spirit groans
without you.
My soul feels empty
and alone.
I feel like a ghost wandering,
lost, like a blowing leaf.
Grief has become me.
I hunger for you.
Feed me.
I think of you there,
lonely and afraid.
I want to take
you in my arms and
hold you, until the
rain stops.

This one brought immense sorrow to the forefront of my mind. There ARE moments when we can only bear witness to pains that returned too often within our lives. I guess such pain marks our souls indelibly and our memories - well, they caress our thoughts just to show us what mattered after all.

[Thomas W Case]

Yes, so true. Thanks for reading and commenting.

It is beautiful! Yes, only true love can hold until the 'Rain' stops. The faith in dependence has a magic.

This one expresses a love of the deepest sort. One does get the hint that some separation has taken place, and the speaker does not have access to the one he loves. Thus the sense of deprivation and desperation, and the deep desire for reunion, so that the rain may stop.

[Thomas W Case]

Thanks, John. Much appreciated.
