I Will Make It Rain Again Poem by Samuel Segun Toluwalase

It was just the beginning
We played on the way to the market
I carried her on my back
I let her sit on my laps in the long city bus
Then I whispered and tickled her ear lobes
She looked into my eyes and in that glimpse I loved her more than I ever did
The clouds gathered and it rained.

We played in the rain and pulled at each other's clothes
That moment was always in mind
I saw in her eyes that she too longed for it
It was calm now but we are willing to replay the moment
Maybe not in the long bus
Maybe not on the way to the market
But I will make it rain again
