when the rain comes, gently

the forgotten sunset
a burnt umbra crayon
I never used
a half-broken promise
reflected in a fractured mirror

whirlwind shards of truth
buried in a frozen deception
those selfish lies
silent accusations stir
an icy drizzle of resentment

when the rain comes, gently
our temperatures falling
lost innocence
simmers over a low flame
it’s never over when it ends

what is this about?

Stephen Ferre said...

Speaking generally, it's about conflict and relationships. The last line is the most important.

When's your next poem coming AC?

Stephen Ferre said...

December is when I write most of my poetry for some reason, so expect something around Christmas. I'm still writing stories and stuff.

You know the usual places.

I might post part of the novel I'm working on here soon.
