Summer Rain
Cold, shivering hand palms seeking mine as I sit by your side
Pupils open wide, drool out of your mouth, slowly losing pride
A single salty tear reaches my lips when you pinch my skin
Hair became so thin yet I can still feel your strength within
Struggling to turn your head towards the window, towards me
Point your finger so I can see the wet leaves of an oak tree
Suddenly you utter a sigh followed by words: summer...rain...
Finally flash a smile again as you forget the torturing pain
Reminiscing of last summer, laying still on greenest grass
Greyish eyes as pure as glass, unaware it would all pass
Seeking for depths of your soul covered by a shell of flesh
Playing with an apricot flower smelling so pure and fresh
Silently listening to birds’ laughter as I rest my head
On your shoulder when you suddenly stood up and said:
“Can you taste the summer; can you taste the real life?
This, for me, is ultimate happiness: no stress, no strife
I won’t experience it again, controlled by this rotten spot
Eaten by cancer as my existence been put on time slot”
After those words, I was gone…gone from the cruel world
Remember I started spinning, round and round, so twirled
Rain streaming down on both of us, blending with our tears
Luckily the smell of it on hot concrete soothed mutual fears
Now I see the craving in your system to feel it one last time
That urge to feel alive, to smell the rain and the wild thyme
You whisper: “take me there…together with you…like before
As an old forgotten lore, take me to the summer rain I adore”
And so I sit here, your head peacefully resting inside my lap
Eye lids slowly closing when I suddenly realize this is a trap
You are leaving me at this idyllic scene, alone and in pain
As you give your last breath and say: taste the summer rain
