Two in the Rain

two joined, separated
a brother now one
and his brother's friend
a friend that loved
filled that emptiness
that hearth and home
could not mend
one fateful day
their ways crossed
to wayward wend

what tears run streaks
on your redded cheeks
why the furtive pulse
in your eyes it shows
so plain a plan
to bring him back
though a means to do
so sorely lack

keep alive that
sacred part you filled
his heart and thus
wherever he may be
there shall you also
remain his friend
no brother, nor blood
no rain, nor wind
would understand

Your poem
Is lovely
Really
That does
Loved see

You all rrr poets
Of sub consciousness
I of self adoration
But when I write
Abstract ones too
I don't even know
What I myself did do
So I compose
But with a silent gait
Lest I am found
Out,
At an erroneous gate!
Albeit!

C

what you experience in your days and in your past
your memories and whatever touches you most
then let the Muse direct your poetic path
and allow you pen to paint with words that sight
you will find treasures thus transformed
and in that achievement find no regret

CB,

I am not a big fan of long titles, but this is my exception. The title immediatley gave us the image from where the rest of the poem started from.

Just the right amount of emotion as this topic could of gone a lot deeper and been just too heavy.

The rain really gave this the cloud of gloom it needed.

Really enjoyed it,

HS

Titles are the death of me.
That may be my greatest fear... to give an apt name to a body of poetry.
Thanks for having spent time with this poem
and thanks even more so for responding to it. CB
