lluvia

The sweet smell of earth
The soft pattering on my window
The flash of lightning
And the booming of thunder

The trees dancing in the malicious wind
With the zephyr in my hair,
I plunged into the darkness,
With a feeling of defiance

The intoxicating aroma
Filled my lungs
The rain had begun
To intensify again

Somber,
I stood in the rain
Which drowned my tears
And slowly started to wash out all my thoughts

Above a sliver of ivory,
In the dark ebony
Irony,
I thought

The struggle till now was torment
Then it was all clear,
Even in the gloom
The pain was inevitable

With a whole heart I stood there
In the melancholic darkness
When a lightning struck
As if to show me my place.

The thoughts came back
The words, the emotions attached to them
The stronger they came, the louder they got
The harder I tried to flush them out of my head.

At last I achieved
The silence, the calmth
There was no more sound
Except for the deafening rain
