Alone In The Rain

Today I didn’t see those ever-so-close couple. In the lonely forenoons When you could hear the leaves fall They were there Like two devoted doves Whispering in each other’s ears The wonderful nonsense Only lovers can indulge in. Then they laughed like rustling leaves Drowned in their own twitting Without caring a fig for my presence. But today was the day When wrapped in my own aloofness Walking alone in the rain I sought those two. Like the empty bench I missed those tweeting two Warming up a desolate space, Scared they’re lost in life’s aridness.
