Always The Rain

 Always The Rain



I was the fire

He was the rain

I was the pleasure

He was the pain


I was the joy

He was the woe

I was the yes

He was the no


I was the sweet

He was the tart

I was the whole

He tore apart


I was the sun

He was the moon

I was the bright

He was the gloom


I was the dance

He was the dirge

I was the giver

(He didn't splurge)


I was the teacher

Life did employ

He was the child

I was the toy


I was the hopeful

He, hope disdained

I opened doors

He slammed again


I gave him love

He took and ran

Enticed me back

Hurt me again


I was the passion

Blazing upward like flame

I was always the fire

But he was ever the rain.

All Night Cafe

 All Night Cafe


Starving for love in late afternoon,

We met at the cafe down the hall

Anticipating a snack

That turned into a banquet,

That turned into a midnight feast,

That led to a breakfast buffet.



(Damn! 

You are one fine

 short order cook!)
