Random Poem:

it was raining
peanut

It was beautiful
 1
and I took her dancing.
 2
 
 
Rain cascaded from the heavens
 3
and adorned our bodies
 4
in ethereal diamonds.
 5
 
 
We were dancing
 6
but in her eyes
 7
I could see that she was dancing alone,
 8
     naked in the rain.
 9
 
 
I saw her joy and let her go--
 10
I let her climb to ecstacy--
 11
I let her touch the stars and kiss the moon--
 12
I let her dance naked in the rain
 13
     alone.
 14
