BUT THEN IT RAINED

He kissed me, and I saw the light of dawn in his surrendered smile

He kissed me, and I woke up from my eternal slumber to meet his lips

He kissed me, and my tears stopped falling to gather in the sky of his eyes

And I smiled because the Promised Land was there where I wasn’t looking.

He kissed me, and the World spoke louder than Plato ever did

And at the rhythm of his voice I lulled to sleep under the stars

He kissed me, and his heartbeat played the music of the Olympus

And I drenched in the allegories of Rumi and the soliloquies of Dante

And it all came into place, it all became clear before my heart,

It all was faultless, it all spoke of beauty, of grace, of unmarred truth.

But then it rained….
