Hit Enter;

Rain
-Shazzar Kallie
The rain cascaded
in showers from the gray sky,
as the heavens touched
earth, quenching thirst for dry lands
and giving life unto all.

It gave life to our union.
We embraced as the raindrops
poured like pennies from Heaven
enriching our love.
We needed it to grow.

Our bodies lay wet,
on the grassy hillside
as we forgot about tomorrow
and cherished the day
angels shed their tears.

Jazz filled the atmosphere
as the tears became
a melody of enchantment
when they touched earth
as our souls danced to the rhythm.

The motion of our movements
were enhanced by the cool air
which breezed through our lungs.
There was no concept of time,
only the moment existed.

I wished to never see the sun again.
It would only dry up the ecstasy
that enshrined in our souls
as the gray sky stretched
across the horizon.

Sugar Castles In The Rain
-Sherry Gail Heim
We built sand castles on the beach
With every setting sun
The miracle of our first love
Turned each sandy mass
Into a glorious sugar castle

We believed would last
Through all eternity
Our hearts were certain and bold

Each day we built another castle
To add to our paper doll world
We placed gargoyles at the gates
To guard our starry fantasies
From the dangers of sun-filled days and youthful hearts

As we sealed our castles with our dreams
We were children, our lives an uncharted path
Our bodies tanned, hair bleached by the sun
We swam with dolphins
Howled at the moon
Gathered shells along the shore
To adorn the fragile walls of our tiny home

We lived our days within our private dream
With autumn came the rain
The fantasy world we had built
Began to crumble and sag
Liquid puddles upon the sand

The days had grown short, summer gone
We watched our castles melt into the sea
Taking with them our dreams of forever love
The years have stolen my youth and quenched my dreams

I walk along the beach
A scavenger, searching for a sugary spire
One perfect shell to color my world
I long for the honey-sweetness of summer past

As I feel the sting of the sun upon my leathering flesh
I inhale the salty air, infused with memories of hope
I read you had passed away last week; that you never married
Gone to sugar castles in the sky

I wonder as I walk
If you recall that summer
And the first love of our youth
I press my feet deep into the sand
In the very place we first made love

I sense your closeness and melt into the glory of that summer in the sun
