[hometext] => I'm not as depressed or desperately low as it may sound...just missing him. 9-29-04
[bodytext] => Gray clouds close in overhead
And dreary skies taunt me above.
The gentle drizzle is now a thrashing torrent.
The sun is hidden from my view.
The cold snapping wind whips my hair,
And it lashes at my tear streamed face.
Each drop of rain stabs my soul with another
Heart-wrenching chill.
But the worst is only yet to come...
When I look and realize I am alone.
A silent fog now encompasses me,
A sinister switch from the strong arms
That were once there.
The trees hang drearily, and my
Heart mimicks their fatigue.
Like the sharp stone underfoot,
I have become accustomed to the
Desensitizing downpour.
But following this internal rain
Is a drought for the tears which have run dry.
Will the sun break through the haunting heavens
Or will gloom never fade from this
Heart-aching child?

I love these lines. The reflection of your inside projected into the earth. Marvelous.

The poem is very descriptive and some lines I loved, but some words took away from the beauty of the poem (for me) because I had to struggle to read them..like
Desensitizing downpour...it's hard for me to pronounce that...it's almost like a tongue twister..for me...but I poetry is very descriptive, has a lot of feeling and overall I liked it. Who cares, huh? LOL.

Very good! I love the way this was worded. And I actually liked desensitizing downpour when I read it, so, to each his (or her) own.
Good expression, my friend. Nai anar caluva tielyanna!

Great write!
I can't say which stanza I liked the best, coz all of them are amazing.
Loved the way you've used nature, to express the feelings of the heart. Or rather-- the climate of the heart... when it's a home to gloom and sadness.
