Monday Poem: Rain

Rain

The rain will fall, we will forget
The sun and all its burning light,
Forget these long days of regret.

The too hot nights are unpaid debts
Against our time spent there, so slight.
The rain will fall, we will forget.

Ignoring morning’s alphabet
And hiding under sheets held tight,
Forget these long days of regret.

And now we sing our last duet
About our sun that shone so bright.
The rain will fall, we will forget

How days are jewels in sunsets,
Recalling hours and how we might
Forget these long days of regret.

Then, leaving all our dreams upset
By darkest winter’s longest nights
The rain will fall, we will forget,
Forget these long days of regret.
