Dreaming of Inculpable Rain

he doesn’t say much past the gentle smiles
stroking my anxiety with lighthearted ease
and for a moment my past is just that
but sometimes his world bleeds into his words
and I become painfully aware of how kindred we are
just out of sync in the measurements of time

shattered trust silently betrays hope threaded dreams
and even now here beneath the beauty of today’s blue moon
I find no joy when the ache of early morning confessions
are still stirring the truth of my day

my heart’s pieces fuse whole
desperately trying to placate starglazed possibility
but San Francisco breezes carry a presage of love’s fate
that even I can’t deny

yesterday has long since pulsed my moments
ever strengthening the rubble fortress around me
through cracks in the mortar my eyes wander
restlessly down the paths that he roams
as my soul shifts uneasy within my own longing

through tears of regret and innocence
I claim my part within the unsettling winds
that now stroke disquieted, desert landscapes

freedom has always been just a word for him and I
when conviction has ever flavored the rain
and each new storm drizzled
tainted tastes of reality
upon an already ravenous palate

and I can’t keep denying the bitter after taste
that lingers far after the thunder calms
or the silently echoing omissions
that ride the lightening then are gone
nor can I keep standing here
beneath the brilliance of blue skies
looking to the horizon for accumulating clouds
that never seem to gather
while dreaming of an inculpable rain
