rain

i weaken at the sight of you
a sun surrendering heat to the scent of the moon
and the world languorously drift in the gloaming
cloaked in shades of purples and blues

i become a trembling leaf in autumn air
lost in memories of old hymns you sing
in praise of the sea you weep

i am a latticework of water and emotions
and in your cold fingers i surrender
drown me in sadness sweet
