The Torents Of A Life Forever Wet
March 31, 2013
The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plains.
But my rain falls on my pillow
In a dark corner of a sad room
with a shrine from my home in the light
the pieces of broken hope scattered about the floor
The rain in Spain Falls mainly on the plains
but my excessive rain falls on my palms
torn and bleeding with want and yearning
savagely grappling at a stilled heart
The Rain In Spain Falls mainly on the plains
But my rain comes from a cloud that hangs low on life
a shadowed finger amidst the bright colors
no more painted faces and silly clowns
bright makeup and flowy gowns
The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plains
but my rain has stopped
for now

I got chills as well... I loved the ending stanza. It was unexpected, and a very nice addition! This has taken me a while to figure out, but I like it. The rhyming at the ending is odd though. It's sudden (which you could imagine as being cool & different) but I didn't seem to like it. I felt that it was a bit... forced. A bit. But good job! I enjoye dreading this.

This is absolutely amazing. I feel the emotion in here and I feel how soaked my pillow is and the tears on my hands. I feel everything in this poem and that's something that is special about poems and you really brought it out in this one.. great, great job! The ending is soft and sweet and I am very impressed with this. You're great! Xx!
