Summer Reins

Tip tap splat goes the rain
As it continually dances upon my
Weathered brain

It nearly drives me insane
For with each and every drop
Appears another tear drop

In the corners of my minds eye
They never seem to stop
I so loved the summer rains

And their lighting of the skies
Their screams of thunder 
Oh how they make me wonder; why? 

The waves of winds
Watching those old trees bend
The taste of their sweet waters

The smell of renewal
 Left behind by their duel; with me
Their hard banging upon my nude back

As I sheltered you they would attack
As whips they merely cut upon the skin 
Then they'd turn softly and back away

To a feathered mist as they disappear
They so remind me of you
But, so will every breath I breathe

                   
A thought by Sinbad the Sailor Man

About This Poem

About the Author

Region, Country: U.S. A. Indiana, Valparaiso, USA

Favorite Poets: Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Carl Sandburg these I have read some And so Many More. I have no Favorite or any that I dislike. Whom I consider to be poets; of course there are many Dark and hateful souls, who would cry out and to I will lend an ear, but some. They just leave a awful taste in my heart that I can not bear to read twice. Let alone as many times I would do normally; as I must.

Hello yes thank you for pointing that out I was

Rushing around this morning and did't get this all done before I had to leave for work. I am so so tired but, lucky to be able to pick up some extra odd jobs. The economy suck right now, so when someone needs my help I go a runing. I hope the correct spellings make it a better read for you. Thanks again Donnie/ Sinbad

better

I'm not familiar with "mearly". I have to laugh sometimes I write on my phone and post without spellcheck it is brutal I must say. I like the sentiments in the poem they are lovely. I was wondering in the second stanza you have drop, then drop in the next line, just to play around what about in the third line as well. See what it looks like or how it sounds. raskin

There is something wonderful about it but,

Becareful todays storms aren't quite as forgiving as the were when I was this young or at least they don't seem to be a down pour can quickly turn on you now a days but, it is well worth the risk I should confirm that fact there has not been anything to compare this event to since its ocurrance Hot sticky and sweet shocked by cool waters and then wash clean left freezing cold only to run inside and replay the whole event agian hmm.
