Rain

One of my favorite

Things is to watch

The rain pass me

Having just cleansed me

Of the sooty grime

Of life it carries

On moving like brushes

In the car wash

Removing miles and miles

Carrying on like the

Tears of God Himself

NoMoreUhUh

I shall never ever

Write another poem for

Another man men leave

But my words stay

With me forever haunting

Me and reminding me

Just how permanent my

Foolish foolhardy follies are

Perhaps maybe one day

Someone will out last

My hurried poems at

Least long enough to

Read them before leaving

Fresh from my shower

And late for work

MissingSomething

I am not looking

For anything of course

That is until I

Do stumble upon it

Realizing it was missing

And how did I

Ever do without it

NowIWill

I no longer prefer

To find someone new

Rather like a monument

Or even natural wonder

I shall sit wait

Being my majestic self

Letting the curious onlookers

Wonder how in the

World something like me

Ever came to be

PoetryToMe

Poetry is the language

Of the ancient and

Children minds free to

Wander dream and think

Poetry confuses those middle

Minds taught to follow

For poetry never explains

But simply quietly suggests

Where you might go
