The First Rain
The first rain reminds me
Of the rising summer dust.
The rain doesn't remember the rain of yesteryear.
A year is a trained beast with no memories.
Soon you will again wear your harnesses,
Beautiful and embroidered, to hold
Sheer stockings: you
Mare and harnesser in one body.

The white panic of soft flesh
In the panic of a sudden vision
Of ancient saints.

[cute parsa]

Rain, rain, rain
Why it cannot be another rain
The one that comes down
Whirling and smashing under a gust
With force with joy and with thrust
Bouncing from leaf to leaf
From earlobe to earlobe
Shines like a pearl
In the vermilion lap of a rose
And in the morning sun
A playful rabbit will chase
The vapor of its breath
On a lush green turf

Rain, rain, rain
Exits and ends are not joyful trend
Mortality, a monster ambushing life
Lurks our essential being
Craves its victims young and fresh
Devour like fire any piece of beauty to ash
Prey on any joy of ever
This horror of feeling, this dreadful sadness descended on me
Like a night on an owl
To rough and to shake me with dreadful foul

All things are hushed with the falling rain, nature’s self lay dead
The mountains seem to nod their dawn drowsy head
The little birds in dreams their songs not repeat
And sleeping flowers beneath the night-dew sweat
Even lust, Envy and hate sleep, yet loves denies
Rest to my soul and slumber to my eyes

Oh Dear, lay your trouble head to rest
Calm the palpitations in the breast
God renders our fortune sweet
If we aid him with our bravery and wits.

The Rain Of Tears

and at the end of the day,
and after all these years
I don’t know where to hide
from The Rain Of Tears…

The breeze whispered in the trees and it wanted to say,
it had traveled all the way, coming straight from you,
I could tell it was true,
I could smell your perfume …

And at the end of the day,
and after all these years
I don’t know where to hide from
The Rain Of Tears…

Beautiful skies, so endlessly blue,
telling me a secret you already knew,
we are so very far apart,
but I can see into your heart

And at the end of the day,
and after all these years
I don’t know where to hide from
The Rain Of Tears…

I’m standing right now in your favourite place,
feeling the warmth of the sun across my face,
driving away the mists of my doubt,
knowing you’re here, within not without

And at the end of the day,
and after all these years
I don’t know where to hide from
The Rain Of Tears…

Hearing the birds as they sing away,
I know they repeat what they hear you say,
that the soul of a song that is sung today,
will be freed and be glad that I can soar away

And at the end of the day,
and after all these years
I don’t know where to hide from
The Rain Of Tears…

And if it does rain I can stand outside,
I can look up the skies with my arms open wide,
I can feel the drops as they mix with my tears,
and wonder when I will be done with my fears,
and I can break out and smile because now it’s so clear,
that no matter how far you are, you are always near,
I can feel your tears blending with mine,
and then I know that I’m going to be fine.

And at the end of the day,
and after all these years
I don’t know where to hide from
The Rain Of Tears…

But as long as I can feel that the sun in warm,
and with every new day another flower is born,
and with all the kind words that people will say,
and with every smile that I give away,
and all the memories i will remember today,
I may not have to hide from
The Rain Of Tears…..

I lOvE tHe RaIn

Rain drops falling in my head,
and never knowing when it will end.
Should I run for cover,
or let another rain drop fall in my head again?
I would love to dance in the rain,
and knowing somehow it’ll help erase the pain.
Sometimes when I’m all alone,
and I see rain drops are falling outside again.
There’s happiness that I feel [...]

[udass shaam]

I used to believe in heaven
that angel tears were the rain
i used to believe in heaven
then i felt pain
i felt pain like no other
course through my body
the vibrant green
a stinging hue
my heart is broken
but i never told you
i used to believe in heaven
but heaven took them away
i used to believe in angels
until they stole them away
i used to believe the rain was healing
now i see all it causes is pain
i used to believe in angels
like i used to believe in the rain.

*Rain or Shine*

Raindrops on our dresses,
Sunshine on our face,
No matter what the weather,
The look of love won’t be replaced.

The silent sound as rain falls,
The brilliance of the sun.
They only promise radiance,
Caused by either one.

Let it rain, or let it shine,
It won’t matter none.
You’re such a lovely Valentine,
In either rain, or sun.

Let it snow, let it hail,
Earth blanketed with white.
It won’t prevent our day,
Or deny the magic of our night.

Tears swelling up in my eyes every night
Rain drops fall from heaven
Simply a walking disguise in the light
Rain drops fall from heaven

Wondering when i will be alright
Rain drops fall from heaven
Growing so weak no energy to fight
Rain drops fall from heaven

Losing all hope in my mind
Rain drops fall from heaven
Wishing that i could simply unwind
Rain drops fall from heaven

As time goes love makes me blind
Rain drops fall from heaven
Wishing i didn't have to leave her behind
Rain drops fall from heaven

Wanting to make everything right
Rain drops fall from heaven
Wishing i could see her in sight
Rain drops fall from heaven

Wishing I had the strength to fight
Rain drops fall from heaven
Wishing i could hold her tight
Rain drops fall from heaven

Never knowing if she remembers me
Rain drops fall from heaven
Never know if we were meant to be
Rain drops fall from heaven

Wishing i had more time to see
Rain drops fall from heaven
My family that always loved me
Rain drops fall from heaven

Thinking back to the times we had
Rain drops fall from heaven
Smiles and laughter but yet so sad
Rain drops fall from heaven

Just sitting here all alone
Rain drops fall from heaven
Wishing i was way back home
Rain drops fall from heaven

Now the only thing that is on my mind
Rain drops fall from heaven
Is the memories i have way back in time
Rain drops fall from heaven

The tears from my eyes and deep inside
Rain drops fall from heaven
Matches the drops that come from the sky
Rain drops fall from heaven

If you could even begin to wonder why
Rain drops fall from heaven
It is simply those tears from lies
Rain drops fall from heaven

Every time it rains i stare to the clouds
Rain drops fall from heaven
Hoping one day she will simply fall
Rain drops fall from heaven

Right into my arms where she belongs
Rain drops fall from heaven
So that i can sing her a song
Rain drops fall from heaven

A song that tells her how i feel
Rain drops fall from heaven
A song that is nothing but real
Rain drops fall from heaven

That will be the day that will bring me joy
Rain drops fall from heaven
Too bad it wont happen to this boy
Rain drops fall from my eyes
