JoelJosol Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 It's not the rainy season but then summer never came. On the glass window, I noticed water dripping across its height. I am done whispering in your ear, my tears falling on your cheeks mixing with yours before the equipment sounds go quiet. How do you translate the weight and height and depth of sorrow clinging into my arms, pulling me and you away like dirty blankets? In the corner are seats of loneliness, where one go wail quietly while outside as the rain poured, some children were dancing in the rain.

JoelJosol Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Thank you guys for reading through the lines and immersing yourself with the spirit of the poem.
