Standing In The Rain Poem by Phillip Nine Mafunga

Time, always so pure and flawless
Sanctity of life divine
Sadness and sorrow never in the original design
Ember lights on both sides of the serene streets of life
The desert blossoms with nature's beauty

And I saw her standing still unmoved
I was very far away and yet I could see
I could see how beautiful she was
I hoped she could not see me or else I would blush
It took me a long time to realize that I was also getting wet

She must have been humming a love tune
Or was I just hallucinating?
"I must find out who this damsel is", so I thought to myself
Suddenly she looked at my direction and the young man in me froze stiff
She was smiling and her beauty dimmed my wits
