Rain O'er Flesh

by Annette - Leo

Her prayers for rain
fall in the form of tears
amidst the black clouds of his storm
jealous streaks of lightening
emblazon his eyes
as a slap of thunder rolls
across the landscape of her flesh
the apex of fury surround her
yet again, she rides the torrent out
sustaining the onslaught of his wake
weathering another drunken tempest to pass
her prayers for rain
quench not her cracked and parched heart
long in dyer need of relief
pooling no where
but run off
along with other debris collected
into the gutter of her soul
...still she loves him

Reason for writing:

    nothing particular
