White Sands, Black Rain

by Clay   Aug 5, 2005


The Storm, threatening
As It forms overhead
I know i should take cover
Find shelter with her
But i remain standing instead
On this beach of Pure White Sand

Siren songs of temptation and want
Drag me toward the oncoming front
I tuck her safe away
Cut our ties to keep her safe
Out of the way...what a mistake
As Black Rain pours down on the land
On these beaches of Pure White Sand

The Storm, devastating
I know i should escape It, but the destruction is too captivating
I'm way too caught up in it
Now these grains of Pure White Sand are stained with it
Only evil and depression are sustained
By the sins i commit, which come down as dark black rain

The Storm, it passes
Left behind are the results of my medicated actions
The land stained Black now
It's filled with people and creatures i don't know now
And i cant find her in the devastation
My heart cries out
But is met without liberation
Locked forever in this land
This land of dark, black sand

    OMG... that was absolutely brilliant! This is one of my favorite poems i have ever read!! I totally understand the metaphor you used. It's not obvious and thats what i love about it. I actually had to read between the lines!! Also, i love how the black rain represents your sins and how you can't get away but you cut your ties with 'her' and what a mistake. Absolutely brilliant!!!:D
