from the diaries of rain:

a blank point
a blank moment
the blank eyes of that woman
she sat in the rain
held on to herself
she shivered within her thoughts
it was a pause
a long pause
she was to wait
and that's all there was
she waited and waited
for time to come
desire secretly made notes in her heart

still and engrossed in her memories
she made no escape for the shelters
she kept to her promise
she remained in that place
and awaited for the moment
she thought she knew
that he would come
and get her out of tht very scene
but, he was late
her heart was sinking
in the pool that the
rain and the tears create
