Array ( [sid] => 48691 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Chance of Pain [time] => 2004-05-22 16:19:30 [hometext] => Sometimes, it doesn't have to have wetness to rain. [bodytext] => A horrific crack resounds and reverberates
The flash preceeding was equally impressive
Sheets of wet coat all, a silver transparent sheen
'Not a fit night' you recall as soaked shoulders hunch

Still, it fits the mood within your thoughts
Both black as the night that now hosts them
The day started fair enough as was your spirit
That faded also as did the sun of then

Innocuous words and deeds, a personal storm
Never for a moment, not even a hint
Now here they are, the cold wet and the black empty
Hanging from you like old thrift shop clothes

What was it that she said; mindless steps in puddles
Don't need to find out when I've made up my mind
Shock, dumfounded blank; FLASH,BOOM, futile wipe
Now it's soaking in, maybe carried by the rain

So this is how it's done these days
Honorless, heartless, cold and cruel
Just open and dump
Like an unexpected storm [comments] => 5 [counter] => 184 [topic] => 32 [informant] => reprobate [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

A teacher of mine recently smashed my dreams. It was the first class of my day, my spirits were high, soaring in fact, and I told her I wanted to be a music teacher. Her response? "Heaven help you...rather... heaven help those students." That day it began to rain. I think of rain as a way for me to relieve myself of pain... kind of therapeutic, I guess. It was just what I needed, but I hate the fact that I needed it. This poem really hits home for that situation. Thanks for posting. Its a vivid write with brilliant flow.
Bravo! Encore!
Love,
Chelsea
