Another Rainy Day

Another rainy day
hot coffee on the tray
the aroma fills up the cold air
shooing away the grey

I smile just like on other days
reminiscing the sweet  memories
sharing coffee and butter cookies
as if there was no yesterday

Now, I sip slowly the coffee
and take a bite of the cookie
alone am I, or is it only me
No, I still have the coffee

And I start to sing softly...

"Rain, rain, go away,
Come again another day.
Rain, rain, go away,
Let the sun reveals its rays."

when I see the moon and stars

If They Could Recall

Image Source

In the pin drop silence of the night, sudden sounds of rain pouring,

at first just in little forms, I wanted to count them one by one

when the sounds became so beautiful -

like tiny drums' rolls the minute little droplets burst one after another upon touching the roof surface,

then they glided down the gutter and gathered as a small lively pool at the end of the road.

I started shivering when the coldness cloaked around, 

did the droplets feel what I felt,

 did they ever think the moment when the sun would drink them up, leaving no traces at all, 

just a remembrance of where and when -

would they be shivering?

B l a n k

It is invisible in the whiteness of the sheet or darkness of the night,





It is there and it is called B L A N K,






And it does occupy the mind,  at times ideas all frozen,







B L A N K rules!
