Downfall

by Joanna Miller - Not entered

the flood heaves frantic screams of me 
yet to want you
elaborate when we felt like rain
have me as one bitter in my moment 
and you gone in your realm of these wants
take the love
here we never whisper
but cry behind dreams
sweat beneath moons 
chant of beauty in music
with eternity singing over our heads
and through those shadows
still drunk in my sleep
rips the ache
bare from her breast
letting time storm from the void 
of true love

Reason for writing:

    isn't it obvious?
aren't many poems created from a love received and then 
eventually fallen asleep?  rain inspired me to write this 
poem, my significant other had always told me that i needed 
substance, that i needed to elaborate.  Well I'm the poet, 
i am always elaborating. It's just that i didn't feel like 
rain, falling and smearing everything over with substance.  
I just felt like curling up into a ball and letting it all 
out in a poem.
