Raining Up

It rained up,
Everything launching into the sky--
Leaving the earth a featureless desert much like your heart.

And the one
you were convinced
I loved better than you?

I love her better than you.

She makes everything weightless,
Fantastic;
It rains up.

Hell yeah.

  1. Cold, my dear, the first stanza, but I have a feeling, completely just. And nothing is more fun than being weightless--as long as you don't have to be an astronaut and eat weird food through a straw to do it. Loved it.

  4. This is such a lovely, butterflies-and-rainbows type of love poem...kind of like the Police's "Every Breath You Take" (which idiotic people used to think WAS a love song).

    Revenge is best served cold. Who said that? This wasn't cold, it was arctic! But I'm with Hedgewitch; your icy attitude was probably well-provoked.

  6. I've thrown up, been washed up, gave up, loosened up, shut up and even ground up...but I've yet to see it rain up. That, I would think, would be amazing to see...

  13. Sometimes, a single phrase -- "It rained up" -- says everything a poem can about passion, about love. I'm gonna start walking on my umbrella. - Brendan

  14. If it rains up, do I point my umbrella down?
