These were just thoughts
I have sometimes
come back for a visit,
but struck down at once,
while the sky dripped,
and my glow returned.
Stormclouds in residence,
pregnant waterdrops crashed
both sides of this street.
I smiled at these,
while feelings covered me
in tiny little kisses,
up every vertebrae
and sank deep in gray mass.
In this rain,
I momentarily thought
a series of harsh words
at myself, for myself,
but it was not my voice
of which I thought
as the words came.
Now, his voice jams
the signals in my brain,
and I can't take me seriously.
I just roll my eyes
and tighten an embarrassed smile,
while the splashes diminish
and the clouds break apart.
Only the afterglow of love
can remain
as I recite
the message he gave
in a birthday present
no one else knows was mine.

perksalmost 20 years agofantastic poem!
I love the way you use your imagery to get the context of your poem across. A little bit of internal rhyme and assonance, brings the flow of this poem right along. I wouldn't say this is a heavy hitter, but it is a good solid poem, and it conveys everything you wanted it to. I loved "stormclouds in residence". I loved how you incorportated your imagery with reality. It was seamless and smooth. The only part that made me stutter a bit was the double "myself" line. Possibly seperating the two phrases into two lines would give you the pause and make it even more poignant, but well done. It is good.
