THE RAIN THAT WASHED THE SKY
Unscrutinised by prying eyes,
in cooling shades of solitude
within the shadows dark embrace,
no occupation could repress
her crowding thoughts
and so with sorrowful regret
her cloistered troubles she expressed.
In close embrace he listened to
the words she sighed into the wind.
In illustration of his love
he whispered tender overtures
within the sanctum of the trees
as gentle tears gave new release
like rain that washed the sky.

Beautiful write and beautiful picture.
Thank you - I had the title in mind and built the poem round it.
Such a tender and intimate scene of release amid the comfort of love - your expressive words paint an apt adornment to that beautiful painting. - - Another gem of duo accomplishment dear Michael.
Bless you Fay - love your work and do value your kind comments.
secret whispers of love's comfort carried off on the wind traces of tenderness washed away in the rain
like Bogie and Bacall . nice love the pic too!
B&B - now that dates you - thanks so much Willy.

Love the line about the words she sighed into the wind! Appropriate painting, as well.
Just been cutting the grass for the second time this year - really warm and I was sighing into the wind believe me - thanks so much.
Prying eyes in cooling shades of solitude embrace shadow of beautiful expression in this poem. She sighed many words in to wind and he listened to these through embrace. Metaphorically and humorously this poem is beautifully penned.
Thanks so much Pintu - your kind comments are almost another poem in their own right.
Beautiful water colour to illustrate an equally beautiful aqueous metaphor. Thanks MICHAEL ~ BRIAN
Tanks again Brian - must smugly add that it's one of my own favourites.
Awesome write
Thanks Tony - do appreciate your kind support.
Welcome
Touching poem and the watercolor goes very well with it.
So pleased you like it - thanks for the comment.
A shared moment embraced in the arms of he, with whom she chose to share her sorrow. Sometimes the gray skies and the tearful rain can bring on such a moment. It reflects the strength of the relationship and the depth of trust. Loved this one.- Phil A.
Thanks yet again Phil
