Last Time When it Rained
Mar 21, 2022
Last time when it rained I was standing
watching the Mediterranean Sea change its colour
I distinctly remember how quickly it happened
From deep azure it went to light turquoise
There were none on Promenade des Anglais
Soaked in tender drops
The blue chairs were empty
They looked lonely
Drenched with memories of pouring rain
I went and had coffee
Looking at strange faces.
As I sit here now
Facing the window
Raindrops caressed by wind kiss my cheeks
Fallen leaves are swept away
Smell of the earth rises from the ground
Bringing back what I thought was a dead sin
And now my heart lingers
through an unknown desolate street
Searching for something lost
Not knowing what it is
