Heavy Rains Turn Into Rainbows Poem by Singleton M. Tate

Rain, falling so heavily in my life... at any given moment for no apparent reason.

It swells like the overflowing rivers. I try to encourage it to stop, recurring drop after drop, after drop.

It's plentiful, yet cold, draining my emotions... darkening my soul.
'Let me out, I say, I'll drown in here, ' going back in time, year after year.

For in the rain is time long past, when I struggled to believe,
that this wouldn't last. The rain comes and goes and lurks,
you see, always stealing pieces of our sanity.


The rain is the tears... that fall from your eyes, when your heart is destroyed severely inside. Taken out by surprise, blinded by love, the rivers of tears turn into a flood. Gripping the mind, replaying the scenes of bad relationships, abandoned dreams. Each one still fresh in the mind... rewinding, time after time, after time.

Stopping the rain sounds easy... but there's a Catch 22, deceitful lies will manipulate you. What you see is never really what you get. Fairytale short lived... insanity, woeful regret. The rain... always finding a way in flooding my heart and soul, once again.


The tears that swell up in the wells of my eyes make me stronger, more willing than ever to survive. To strive for the laughter, that I know lies within. It's been snuffed out, by some very cruel men. The rivers will not run its course too long. The wells have been stunted by some beautiful songs. That ring out from the heart, so loud and distinctively clear.

Never give up on love, its potential and always be aware of the danger, that could be coming your way... to steal your heart on any given day. Then the rains... will darken your door, sucking your life's blood and always seeking much more.


What starts the rains and the flooding of the soul? When we as humans
lose control... giving the power to an incompetent, woman or man, enriching their status, as best we can. Giving everything... right down to the last drop, then the rains... will never ever stop. Until you... get a grip on your life and be strong and leave that kind of madness, alone!

Find... the peace and love that is within yourself. It's blooming, gleaming and spreading to someone else, that will appreciate and love... the caring, loving individual, that God has sent them from above.

The rains... turn into tears of joy, happiness, a bright rainbow of love, forevermore!
