Just Another Rainy Day

What’s the reason for this life?

I’ve heard so many times on the edge of a knife

Some can never even keep a housewife

And would that even end their strife?

Image result for sad rainy day

What can I say? Just another rainy day

Headed down this lonely highway

Trying to hide my dismay

Couldn’t get her to stay anyway,

Treasure on a lost plateau

As desolate as foothills in the snow

Too cold for anything to grow

Too afraid to let my emotions show,

Image result for sad rainy day

What can I say? Just another rainy day

Got my old photos hidden away

Sometimes I can’t even pray

The forgotten bed where we used to lay,

Image result for abandoned bed where lovers once lay

I hear the sound of hope fading away

Yet, here is that abandoned palace where I stay

Wondering where the persecuted will decay

Memories of a misty May,

Image result for threatening shadows

You know the time of year isn’t right

Something in the air like fright

The generation of the wicked night

Has become everyone’s plight,

What can I say? Just another rainy day

A little Asian girl named Mei

Another one always seems to go astray

Just another balmy day across the bay,

Image result for message in a bottle

Few self-deluded fools never see

Through the enigma that keeps us from being free

There’s another cork in a bottle floating past me

Useless, like trying to get two enemies to agree,

Image result for sad rainy day

If I could untangle this confusing day

And not give a damn about what they say

If only the imminent destruction, we could delay

What can I say? Just another rainy day.

Comment by cheeki kea on July 19, 2021 at 3:20pm: well CS what a thing to to say and Doc V. you're kind with you words. I would have expected him to cop a bit of flack. Great poets don't tend to focus their writings on superficial encounters from what I have noticed. That's why they are so great and in clown world poets sit very close to top of the pyramid because they have that unique ability to bring joy and beauty to suffering like few others ever could ever imagine. It would be difficult to describe this phenomenon to others short of attempting to write a poem oneself as regular describing words are ineffective in conveying the concept. I think it's because both joy and beauty are emotions and need to be 'felt' and that 'feel' is spontaneous and silent. ( easy if poems about tweedy birds at the beach on a summers day - but that's not suffering so would not gain any traction in CW) Even in the real world only the best poets have been able to master this. Small Examples : (this one from K. Gibran.)

Comment by Doc Vega on July 19, 2021 at 1:35pm: Central Scrutinizer Dude, you have a way of boiling it all down. I tried a third marriage with one who just couldn't let the pain of the past go so she punished all those closest to her while trusting those she didn't even know. I've read up on this seeming syndrome and it seems a lot of western guys have crashed and burned the same way. Chinese culture both Commie mainland and free Taiwan still have similarities. Lord, make my whip of licorice it'll hurt less.
