RAIN



Oh woe, oh woe,
It's raining again.
The sad sky is weeping
Cold tears for my pain.

It clearly must know
That you're leaving today
In your silver bird
To fly far away.

And does it know, too,
Who awaits you there
Behind pretty pink walls
In her Stockholm lair?

My trust you've betrayed
For, alas, it seems
You've abandoned true love
For ephemeral dreams.

So with broken heart
I make my way home,
Getting soaked to the skin;
Feeling so alone.

  4. Wise friendly rain accompanying the abandoned womam, trying to comfort her and washing away her sadness.
    I could hear the rhythm and freshness of the rain in your words.
    Very beautiful, dear Ygraine.
    A hug.

    1. How wonderful your words are Dulcina, so comforting.
      There is something truly healing about rain, isn't there? And, of course, it is the perfect hiding place for tears!!
      Hugs :)

    1. Oh I am so sad for your past hurt Windsmoke, and I so hope I haven't revived it's painful memories too vividly.
      I suppose people like you and I are quite fortunate in a way - at least we have the opportunity to write about our feelings and not have to suffer in total silence!
      Many thanks :)

    1. Rose, thank you so very much, dear friend.
      I have received a verbal comment about writing too many sad poems recently, so must write something more cheerful next time!!
      Sadness appears to come too naturally to me. Hehe :D

  7. It is a sad thought to think that you may be hurting. I hope this is fictitious but if it isn't I hope you a tender healing.

    1. Oh Gnome, I am deeply moved by your caring words.
      Thank you from my heart.
      This piece is an old memory disguised in fiction.
      Loads of these have been resurfacing recently. Do hope I've not been boring everyone!!

    2. You've never been boring Ygraine. Each poem you give us, like a warm psychometric rush, brings you nearer to us.

  8. This is fine. You have so cleverly avoided all the traps, and the poem stands up straight and true - even if your friend did not.
