Naked In the Rain

-----He loved her
And
She loved the rain.

He wanted to read his favourite book,
Sit at the old fashioned chair near the window,
Put his feet on the antique pine wood table
And Read aloud his favourite lines.

Instead....
He stood naked in the rain.

He wanted to drink a glass of wine,
Lie down on the couch in the corner of the room,
Play comfy music on the record player
And watch the rain through the misty wine glass.

Instead....
He stood naked in the rain.

He wanted to light a cigarette,
Stand out under the sunshade in the balcony,
Listen to the sound of rain beating the world,
And watch the cigarette die out.

Instead....
He stood naked in the rain.

He wanted to write a new poem,
write her name on the paper boat,
Fill the buckets with the fresh rain water,
And dedicate the poem to her.

Instead....
He stood naked in the rain.

-----He loves her
And
She loves the rain.
