On empty streets
An umbrella
Keeps me warm
And I let my feet
Take me places
Far from trouble
And curious gazes.
You can’t walk away
From pain I know
But you can hide
In the rain
Though the puddles
Have eyes
And wink at me sly
A million irises
Won’t determine
My inner yearnings…
No, nobody but I
You can walk forever
Through a haze
Under heavy clouds
And dark days
You can stroll
Until it seems
The spring rains
Will never end,
At least, until October…
And maybe, not even then—
But you can hide tears in rain.
More legit than singing in the rain! Yes, there are times to dance and be happy but there are times to be sad and to heal. The overall flow makes it enjoyable to read while the meaning sinks in. Or soaks in, as it were.

This line is so sad. So true, and sad.
When it rains, for joy or sadness, maybe the sky cries with us.

Hanging Like Cloudy
My thoughts are sus
Cloudy
This longing is a thunderbolt
That feels bitter
Our maturity
Or destiny
The one on purpose
Inviting us
To remember shelter from the quiet
