A breath so sweet Aphrodite does envy me
For having such a thing so precious, so fragile
So quiet, yet explosive with sound
And you always told me
“Don’t cry when it rains; just smile.”

I miss the rain and your smile
So defiantly eager, yet subtly shallow
Feeding off the words of others
But feeding me your fire and passion
“When it rains, it pours.” I’d say

I miss the hunger that came after ever meal
The passionate lust that served as dessert
And the walls would never be the same
And we were never the same
“Your heartbeat pounds into my head as the rain on the windowpane.” I’d whisper

How I miss your heartbeat whispering a good night
And your lips caressing my ear
Such sensational lips perfectly shaped
And delicate, and sweet, and carefree
“Don’t cry when it rains; just smile.”

I hear echoes and Aphrodite is laughing
And I am Caligula’s whore, begging for more
But the rain outside is laughing also
And it is pouring in a way that I couldn’t possibly smile to
“When it rains, it pours.” How I regret those words

“Let go as the wind does blow.” You whispered sweetly
And left one last kiss upon my cheek with your satin lips
And left one last look upon my face with your golden eyes
And the wind took up my sorrowful melody
And you laughed as the rain poured down

I agree with everyone that say this piece had a mystical feel to it. I couldn't quite figure out my imagination, but it was basically a scene of steam rising from a rain covered street. Also the repetition of the ending lines made the poem.

Wow this whole work felt so mystical, like I was trapped in a daydream that I didn't really want to wake from. The ending made me feel a bit empty. Nicely written. ~Ryan
