Make It Rain

The moments of our lives are masterpieces that we make out of the material we’re given.
We are stronger because of the masterpieces we have made, but we are more than just them.

The rain falls in reverence, closure, cleansing, and possibility.

Blast the past,
Until my ears bleed.
I’ll make it my creed.
Rip the string,
I’m unraveling.
Take the band-aid and make it sting.
Please pour some more alcohol into my cut.
Love me, but only if I keep my mouth shut.
Your abuse is misused
Saccharin-
Smooth on the way in,
Bitter to swallow.
Numb-
Doesn’t feel or taste,
Nor does it wallow.
Titillate me.
Commiserate me.
I’m a masterpiece in a gallery of what was and lacks
Bring the pain,
Make it rain.
There’s a funeral today, so be sure to wear your best blacks.

Nicely done here. Truly a contemplative piece. Everything we go through makes us who and what we are. That which does not kill us makes us stronger!

some one wrote when we blast he had a different meaning also another wrote this one for /to me
Gold does not grow old
Nor silvery
these I say to thee
have faith
Hope
Also charity
these are now
Far more important to me
your heart is big
Broad plain for all to see
and feeling of oldness

Can never be,
A thought of mine
For thee

I like this one sweetievee. Sometimes we do have to go through life’s crucible to come out a stronger, purer version of ourselves.

Kind of dark but well conveyed…like a tortured but mended soul. Interesting poem for sure. A thinkers piece to ponder. Great meter and rhythm. Cool piece for sure.
