50. a simple melody 

burning with my own passion

waiting for the rain

I am the sun on the earth

 

rain, the faintest promise

keeps repeating itself

it is a simple melody 

with complex harmonies 

which have gifted me 

a suffering of an entire life

 

and to feel its presence

I let myself be flooded 

by waves of desire incessantly

 

I wish it would take away my solitude

turn it into a magnificent pool or

bubbling wails of a restless stream

and let me go swimming in that

blissfully
