Invitation for destruction

(A Bill Jones painting from http://www.painters-online.co.uk)



Yes, love

rain again, flood again

even nature isn't cruel this often.

Why you? Why me?


I've held in my palms

long lonely nights

fingertips shriveled

with wiping tears.


I've held in my palms

a hope that wouldn't die

a hope that bloomed

even in hatred's Sahara.


Yes, rain again cruel one

One drop, a million drops, 

until this deluge

destroys me once more.
