Night rain
like love never told
pours down
in darkness,
in damp silence,
without awakening anyone
When dawn breaks
it disappears,
leaving,
no residue
nor a trace
behind.
It requires great sensitivity to feel the untold love. Equally it requires some willing eyes to see the traces of night rain. Beautiful poem. So enjoyable on this cloudy morning. Thanks for sharing Valsa.
Night rain compared to silent love poured out into words most eloquently. Loved the subtle feeling that the poem has conveyed.
Valsa, I never read this one before, and it’s lovely. It’s an excellent simile that you put before us simply and briefly and that is pleasing visually. Applause! I’m going to suggest this for Valentine’s day. Do you want to put a period after anyone? -Glen
My twisted mind says that you are writing about a lover stealthily coming in the night, .......just thinking, but it is a provoking read.
rain pouring down in silence and dark, our psyche get metamorphosed from all its mundaneness, rain being from sky, in silence, in darkness, in solitude.ambience is well captured by the poem.and if there is a meeting with old pure love, it is doubly exhilarating.
This is a poem where nothing happens, but we're left feeling a sense of wistful beauty. You've captured the essence of the night rain, of a life, of a lifetime of a human which is nothing more than a bit of rain falling in the middle of the night. Beautifully written and expressed. -Pam (Jette)

Lovely poem, Valsa! Are you sure this untold love leaves no trace? Maybe none visible to others.
A clever question, Laurie! Definitely it impacts, but leaves no visible marks! Thank you!
