Rain Gods
Don’t fret, worry or chew your nails
Staring at the rain
Looking for answers—
When there aren’t any,
At least,
None in the rain-streaked pane
Or boiling puddles
Of pain.
Go back to bed and dream
About the first time we met—
How kind I was
And how I always remembered
to whisper your name
Like a sacred incantation—
Then, ask yourself
Was it me or was it you…
Perhaps, it was the mythical Someones
Whom we all know
Can call a game
Simply because of rain.
Huele a noche fresca este poema, @johnjgeddes. La lluvia es tu tema recurrente. Es ella la que da la atmósfera para enamorarte y desenamorarte. En ella bailamos, besamos y hasta nos despedimos, pero siempre será el paisaje para el amor. Este poema es la ventana por la que miro caer hoy la lluvia. Bonita noche
Famoso por ello :) Mi primera novela fue llamada, A Familiar Rain: ¡era una carta de amor empapada de lluvia!
La buscaré para leerla! :)
The rain is bearable but the winds can get high.
Fantastic work in metaphor and verse, John:)
Thanks, Pryde :)
The deep meaning about rain and feelings.
Thanks for writing this poem @johnjgeddes
This is so beautiful . I had to read it thrice to understand what would be the story in your mind before writing the poem. And the story, I came up with, is either the man is no more or he is out for some days and he is saying to his belover to calm down. Don't freak out when cloud roars and it rains . Just remember the smooth time when we were together. I do the same :-)

I see @riovanes was thinking the same thing as me when he wrote, Great comment! Except, you didn't upvote again... Hopefully you will upvote next time as it's kinda rude to just leave a comment in someone else's post!
I know some peeps out there believe simply commenting adds value to a post - it doesn't. Vote and then comment. That adds value. Look at the people I upvoted for their comments. They all respected me first by voting. Learn the proper steemit etiquette and you'll do better.
You are right. May be ,by doing the same thing again, You might have judged me as arrogant, greedy and selfish steemian. But, this is not the case. I appreciate that hash-tag is somehow noticed. I know the picture might be negative but I will change it soon. :-)
