Nothing loves like the cool rain

 The sun was a million razorblades cutting me

 If only I knew how to turn the blue sky to gray;

  I’d burst some clouds and bring down the rain;     

  Strands of liquid affection would fall  softly

  .                                                        

 I smiled when it happened like a wishing well   

Salvation from the clouds came pouring down

Falling rivulets splashing on the burning ground

Pulling me to laughter delightful was the sound      

.

 Making me suspend disbelief and call it magic

Still I walked slowly but felt like I was dancing  

 Damn I love the sound and smell of falling rain

But the people looked from shelter at me keen

.

I never wanted to give them a show for nothing

So I just stood real still, till inspiration moved me

 And I smiled and took off my clothes like a loon

 I’d lost my mind; they could never know the rain.
