Today's Rain

It was what we had after a premeditated run into,
a strong attraction at first sight,
and it enough to us to inspire love,
                                and it was good.
Yes,
tasty as her chocolate lips,
which kissed me like flowers in spring,
embracing my chest like the clouds to a full moon…
Nearby,
        not much sea,
        or enough rain,
                      not even enough night,
were sufficient to our moments.
And there came promises that were prolonged
                                                       with the time,
                                                       and the wind,
until today’s rain,
which started to follow me since the last subway station…
So, like a gallant lover,
through the square I ambled,
                                  turned a corner,
and the street got green all of sudden,
pushing the darkness of the night somewhere else.
That wet night was telling me everything,                          no words were needed,
                  not even paper.
… And at last,
         where a word appeared,
was just inside the interior of our own desire,
where the sentiment high command didn’t hold strong…
and like so,
was gone one more note,                         
not delivered under the door,
but under our desires,
and now written:
  
            “It was just what we had,where the future was more important.”
