It is in the quiet hush of the rain,

when water falls in a cascade of tears,

that we no longer feel the need to cry,

for the clouds have done it for us.

eyes-394176_960_720
Reflections hidden in the pane

Through the looking glass again

Wondering what it is I see

Raindrops, blurring reality

Lost inside this weary head

Words unspoken, left unsaid

Sleepless nights, I dream of you

Thoughts I never can undo

Sighing in the cold, dark night

Thunderous silence, scattered light

Beckons me to watch and stare

Could it be you I see out there?

Or is it just the storm that plays

With memories of yesterdays

The Storm Raged – #NaPoWriMo

lightning-1158027_960_720
The storm raged
thunderous explosions
like the Fourth of July
without its colors
rattled windows
dislocated, limbs fell
against the glass
or did they knock
asking me, to let them in
shelter from the battle
I don’t know, shades drawn
lights out, I could not see
seated in the darkness
only my shadow reflected
on the wall, as lightning
danced across the skies
illuminated, then black again
ice pellets, echoed,
the noise, like machine guns,
ravaging the night, a hunter
claimed his prey
then unexpected silence
the only sound heard
was the peaceful rain,
gently falling.

a truce…………

Giving Way to Rainbows

#poetry, clouds, dorindaduclos.com, Night Owl Poetry, poems, rain, Rainbows, skies, storms, thunder, wind

double rainbow me
Restless is the wind

Blowing circles all around

Oblivious to the echoing din

And all that it surrounds

Releasing loud, its mighty roar

Cloudbursts drown the quiet

Of song birds singing merrily

Refusing to be silent

Watching as the storm clouds fade

Returning skies to bright

Giving way to rainbows

Shining through the light

Sunshine dries the fallen rain

And skies are colored blue, again
