RAINY DAY



This is my old England

And my sad eyes looking

Through the rainy window

Drizzling as my heart

Longs to see my man.


This is my walking to college

Under my green umbrella

And the feeling of loneliness

And freedom of thought

It’s cold, it’s wet, so sad

Yet I feel how lucky I am


That glass of my tears

Saw you lighting a cigarette

At your window

Observing me

The beginning

Of such a short

Yet deepest affair

Another impossible love


This rain today is England

And my English Man

And that ‘I will always

Love you till the end of times.’

That easy is it to lie?

Simply beautiful.

i had written something today that made me identify with some of the emotions here, maybe not under the same circumstances.

But realised, i wasn't ready to write again. Guess, i will just have to make do with reading others' writings for now.

Dulce, I sure agree with Sarah.

As to our memory: my experience is that when I go back in my head (which is not always a good idea for me) I tend to remember ALL the good, and forget MOST of the bad. And I am SO glad this is so.

I can learn the "hard" lessons of life, but do not always have to remember--so hurtfully--the teacher.

But the fond memories--let them enter, so I can once more cherish those moments in time.

Question: Can you not tell by the look in a Peep's eyes, if he (she?) is telling the truth? Sometimes? Any time? Never?

Otherwise, I think, "That
S T U P I D English Man of yours". I have met MANY stupid peeps, and as it nearly always turned out, the stupid one was/is ME! When do I stop being stupid? (That is not your question, but mine--grin!)

Amor y paz.

Awe!! A walk down memory lane , days we forget, moments we do!!some bitter sweet and some like a rainy day not forget, is it by choice or love?
even impossible love is left in our memories

Let your love be like the misty rains, coming softly, but flooding the river. ~Malagasy Proverb

I was there early this year, and yup, it rained.

This is a very evocative poem, muted, like grey skies, but the total effect is strong, and melancholy. Well written, dear Dulce! :-)

That's England in every single word, exactly! Absolutely brilliant.

I think we're all stupid when it comes to love.

I for one would hate to be clever in matters of the heart.

Your memory is living in the English fog.

I always say that bad love is a great teacher
First you have to love yourself then someone will love you.
It is my experience
I think yours too
