A Boy Without Rain (Free verse) by D. $ Fontera
In the recesses of doubt and distraction I findâfire
Lightning strikes my vertigo on the mountain
And I snap
I lose the grasp I had on Evergreen, this pit of errors
Where love is aggrandized
Where love spells red letters
Where I find this licking light
Canât complain, friend
Iâve never endured myself so long
At times where the fire looms enormous, friend
How today, shadow?
Tell me what to do when I donât want to do
Anything
Please let me put the flames out
Before they grow and engulf us both
I wish it would rain
I wish that Biblical storm would wash awayâme
My fickle figure with a freaking smile
Smile, You
You lecherous family man
Iâll do it myself then
Iâll stamp it out this once
But it will take more then that to put me off
Iâm already on fire, so try again
A man without that precious rain
Dividing my musesâone by one
