Number 30 of my 100 theme challenge. Sorry if it's kind of confusing...Poetry's really not my thing and I know the rhyme scheme is lame, but it was the only way I could really write this. Enjoy!

I want to give a shoutout to Ariadne, since it was an anonymous review: Thanks for the kind words! They mean a lot to me:)


30. Under the Rain

Under the rain, two friends lie

Talking and laughing and passing time by

Careless chatter mixes with heart to heart

Neither knows of the years that will tear them apart

0-0-0

Under the rain, two hearts yearn

Wishing the years of childhood would return

Separated by propriety and the public's views

The two of them think they have nothing to lose

0-0-0

Under the rain, two souls reunite

The sky crying tears of joy tonight

A promise proclaimed, a plan to be wed

They don't mind the gossip when the news is spread

0-0-0

Under the rain, a lone woman waits

Bad luck on a wedding day a storm creates

Not one sees the tears cried by her this day

For her love is forced to go away

0-0-0

Under the rain, a lone man rows

Towards the derelict ship lit by the lantern's glows

He aims to rescue his love as soon as he can

But an unexpected person hinders his plan

0-0-0

Under the rain, a woman weeps

She had given him her heart for keeps

But she had gone and broken his trust

She knew not how, but making amends was a must

0-0-0

Under the rain, two souls reunite

The sky crying sadly and joyfully tonight

A love reconfessed, the two lovers are wed

But separation keeps them from a happy ending instead

0-0-0

Under the rain, two hearts yearn

Both wishing that he will finally return

No other couple knows what they've been through

But the curse will be broken, she will stay true

0-0-0

Under the rain, two lover lie

Talking and laughing and passing time by

Careless chatter mixes with heart to heart

Neither thinks of the years they were torn apart


And that's that. I'd like to thank everyone who has ever left me a review. Love you guys! This is dedicated to my family, who I've gotten to hang with this past week, and my bestest friend in the universe Bethany! Happy New Year!

Edit 3/23/08: So since the people who run this site decided to go and take out all the dashes from the story that I use to divide my stanzas, I'm using the ugly 0-0-0. So sorry. I wish there was a better way to do it. If you have any suggestions, tell me, because I really don't like that. (LOL and yes, I'm copy and pasting this into all the ones I had to change).
