You are Rain

by Inna Dulchevsky

In Inna Dulchevsky’s poem, rain transforms into many images and becomes a multi-dimensional metaphor for one’s own soul.

When you let your eyelids fall heavy
And enter the realm of Spirits
I close my eyes for the rain
To scatter your kisses’ cascade on my face

Cool drops wet my eyelashes
Run over my high cheek bones
Slide into the petals of
My gentle smile’s sketch
Into the corners of my opened mouth
Now I can taste the rain

Rain’s presence
As if your fingertips’ touch
Tapping the music-line on my neck
Filling the outline of its lonely full note
Firming my sternum with accords
Culmination strips down my chest

Like a lotus flower I float
Over the waters of my own dissolutions
Rain whispers your voice into my ear
I push away all my fears  and  dive
Into your ambitions that tangle around my ankles
I surrender to you

Lights from a bridge are dream away
A dark brew seals them all on a paper
I disguise my tears
I surrender to rain
