Promise of rain

love cries loneliness away

for we are not alone

when we taste soul’s tears

and as the rose is left bare of petals

and as the scent is wafted away upon the breeze

all that remains is the promise of rain

it is because she is the beginning of everything

his spirit clouds upon her

and there

she remains an elixir within his soul

candle reflections

keep the widening night at bay

and so solitude

flowers into a fragrance of her

and so it begins

as tears that dwell

taste of rain
