Rainmaker, water-maiden
Give me first your mist
Gentle drops to kiss my lips
Your glistening dew
A moist blanket,
To nurture this sleeping heart
And then, pour your love on me in buckets
For I am the dry man, the scarecrow.
Draped across my wooden frame,
I hang.
Lonely in the field, my only communion
Ravens, and snakes.
Washing over my neglected bones
Your drops fall diagonally, torrentially
Onto my barren soil
And I sprout
Tiny shoots of grass grow in me thanks to your rain
Hot, hard cracked earth is now lush,
Like my lovers garden
My lips were cracked, like the ground,
Dry from the drought
And with dirt in my mouth
I fell dizzy from the sun.
My precious waterfall, renew me with your flow,
And green, I will grow, I will grow
Caught in your deluge, I will laugh
Drenched, I will laugh,
Because in your loving rain I am full
You have soaked my green meadow, filled my waterways
My stream becomes a river in your flood,
Gullies and lakes and oceans lie within me,
And you have filled them all.
Pour your love upon me beautiful girl.

Wow I seem to making all comments on your poems tonight and did not even realize it I love the way you write how your words roll off my tongue like they have always been there.
Thank you for sharing your words |

This one is excellent! I love the metaphor, and it follows through the piece consistently. Very poetic and vivid. Bravo!
