DOWNPOUR

Downpour drenched
And submerged, deep
Down the pores of soul
All the pains, cloaked
In the bridal orb

Rain heavily poured
And the drop drained
The cracked path, and
Creaky shrill cried
In agony disguised

Clotting of blood
And the clout of time
Made an implacable mark,
Insensitive to pain
And the pleasure alike
