smiling in the rain

[vurtomatic]

tonight a mist blankets the city as it slumbers in quiet. a soft haze that made the lights aglow, twin to your inner glow within your translucent cheeks. i love the rain because you love it. listening to the gentle monotone of little feet pitter pattering as every drop touches upon the ground ready to receive the heavens. a cool breeze blows, with it, memories come to me.
you love the grey skies that came with winter. the rain sleeked roads reflecting the sun painted skies, a hint of warmth splashed, a geiger and turner co-mingled. outlines become indistinct, refracted by sparkling jewels that fall... and fall as i fall... and fall, into your heart.
nights like these... i miss our bodies under the blanket, i miss your soft, i miss your warmth you bring to bed, my heart, my life. i miss holding you entwined as one, i miss loving making you pleasuring you. i miss falling asleep cradling you, our chests falling and rising in rhythm, our rhythm.
time comes to a still as we steal moments from the river; drops falling out of the heavens, our hands grasping our love desperate. and then... to lose time altogether, and find each other and then, lose our selves further in each other.
tonight... a rain of jewels fall upon my quiet city. every single one of them as they fall catching the light upon the ground my soul... i see you.
in the sleep of the night
city quiet slumbers
but for the lamps
lighting our dreams
a mist falls light
blankets quiet jewels wink
sparkle they come
through the air from the heavens
they fall upon my quiet city
a light winks out
another seeker exhales
into the collective soul
of me, and not me but you
in the teardrops falling
you face skyward
liquid memories
alight upon your cheeks
i hear your quiet smile
a balm upon my weary
city slumbers quiet
misty shroud peaceful
i hear the twinkle in your eyes
sparkling like the raindrops
upon my soul a cleansing

tonight the stars stay silent, the air still. sleep beckons but i am too empty to lay down. a resignation settles in me, an acknowledgement that i am alone. the words stumble and pause, discarded like i was. pain muted by time hums in my chest, and i wonder, why i still feel it.
i overlooked my balcony and wondered detachedly, how i would look, fallen and broken below. i looked ahead, and wondered, if i could fling my glass far enough for it to shatter against walls.
all these, i contemplate in resignation, knowing that what was, would never be, again. an insidious calm descends, masking a deep churning and roiling. it seeps and twines around my heart, curled up on itself; i cant see where it begins or end. how do i untie this knot? how do i breathe easy when my chest seems intent on constricting itself?
i await the sun to herald a new day and can only hope that this malaise passes.
but you dont want my words anymore.

As a rule I've found that from the greatest sadness, comes the greatest beauty and passion. Contentment makes for lazy writers.
This is certainly no exception.
Very tidy work.
