Poem 082: Let Fall The Rain (A Year Later) Poem by Samer Madbak

Let fall the rain upon my eyes
To soothe my troubled crater
Let tears drop from the sullen skies
(Though now it's one year later)
Let fall the flow
To slake my woe
Let sweet Aeolus overthrow
Torpor, let Drought and Dearth lie low…
But now it's all in vain

'Cause if the rain falls on my earth
This time it lacks all power
As now it is of little worth
To me, a tedious shower!
So may it snow
Hey hell! I know
The leaden soul died long ago
And e'en the god I traced di'n't show
So what? ! Let fall the rain!
