Rain Upon Me

BY Raihan Triwafi Purwantori

 

Long have this barren heart yearned for your rain

To rejuvenate the melody it once sung

Rain upon it your love mist, and numb the pain

And once again let it feel, let it be young

 

Stay, for even if it turns into a storm,

the flowers you plow, keeps me in a warm embrace

By the raindrops coming at me in swarm

I would still find and see your glistening face

 

Keep away the sun, don’t flee from my dream,

for we are bound by the turquoise line

A promise we both atone, under the moonlight’s gleam,

where a declaration is no longer a sign

 

My rain, I’ll hereby promise you and the dove

That I’ll protect the reality we’ve begun

this rain is not the blindness of love

for I know even fate would want us as one
