Caught In The Rain Poem by Joen Coronel

I was sitting on a small porch, on the other side
Of the street, waiting to cross the line
But then the rain poured so wide
That it stretched your space close to mine

Now you're bleeding transparently
With no wounds to see, just cold body
I opened my umbrella, hoping to walk
Towards you, but I couldn't even talk

As soon as I reached the middle
You're still standing still
The way you gazed at me made me dwindle
Judging your beat to sense my will

I took one step toward you
You moved one step next to me
The warmth you gave killed my flu
And instantly healed me

Clouds grew darker, winds went sullen
Drops from above fell thick to my head
I wondered why you're quiet like muffled golden
Gleaming in water full of dread

Just in time our eyes interlocked
You let your hands slipped in my arm
As if our ghosts left our bodies to get knocked
While your head rested against my shoulder to keep you warm

My umbrella escaped from my grasp
Free fly, free fall in the air
Ice-bound frogs making a rasp
Like evaporating despair

We joined the rain, greeting the mist
Dancing while dodging every little drop
Passing through clouds like blowing a kiss
And you lay down with a green grass on your lap

I wished everyday would be like this
So calm and beautiful how drizzle cured my pain
With someone to hold, someone to kiss
While being caught in the rain.
