An Evening in London
You appear from the cries of the clouds,
Concealing me as if you are a blanket
As I run for cover, but secretly pray for more.
For I am absorbing you,
Rather than being absorbed,
And look around for a single soul in sight.
I am distracted
By the pungent sheet,
So rippled and veil-like,
Shattering on my frigid skin,
Rinsing my face,
The rain. The night has seeped into me,
For I am the rain.
This poem was inspired by my attentiveness to rain, as well as my love for London. Hence, I combined the two to create a visual of a typical rainy evening in London.
