Rain Day
By Sean Mc Shane
gods of the outer rim
forever sleeps
under the jutting jagged rocks
of the nocturnal routine
over the falls
fools
Eyes of the solar storms
the four foul winds whither
blessed, wrapped, raped
within a divine misery
under stolen stars
a guarantee by lost saints
Measurements in a blood countdown
scars and highlights of
in a mocking mad (s)laughter
folding over the burnt skin
facing the obscure in a showdown
emotional hit squads
wayward logic, crushed underneath
Banging for Brazil
Slower . . . now . . .
an awkward glass slide
lust ensemble
for underground Angels
lay a prayer before you
no reasons left
corrosive collections
broken bits - scattered parts
thrown gently into the mess
double up ? Triple times 2 ?
pushed over the side of a weak-end
to drown on the surface
of hopeful memories
Now,
Freedom is a tattered banner
fly it high over the wasteland
my past crossing
in to my present
stale and stalling
pushing my last days ahead
into the turbulent waves
of a beautiful Oblivion

I love the rain...keep praying for summer to end and the rain to return. This was a beautiful expression, gave me the same kinda feeling as when I have downtime and I spend it reading a favorite book - XXOO
