Cloudburst

by Ginette T Belle

floating through my head again
my lips taste like cherries
his lips?
like rain on a sweet summers day

rain is nice in small doses
rain can murder you in your bed

Interesting analogy. Murder might be fitting if you're being physically abused, but you don't indicate that here (going back to the taste of his lips). Perhaps then that last line would better read: but can drown you in your bed. ??? Just a suggestion Ginette. Otherwise, an evocative catchy slice of poetry. :o)

PS: Excellent title also, considering its text!

Very evocative for its length! Good job putting lots of meaning into a few lines! :)

interesting, multiple contexts at work here...unless i misread grossly....very compelling reading!
