TONIGHT IT RAINS


Tonight It Rains 

Tonight on the rainy street  
I saw a man looking at me , 
Love strive nor weep is what  
He said to me , 
Love only sleep when we dream 
What is so wild as words can be , 
I and thou in debate,  
As a bird with out a nest , 
See the creature stalking 
While we speak! 
That is me watching you in my head 
Is what the man said ; 
Hush and hide the talking of the night, 
It's been too many nights of being with 
out love in my life , 
Two years had been to long when you  
Had told me to move on , 
I started to walk away as he told me to stay  
And hear what he had to say , 
With a charm be a man of old the one to hold  
The one who gives his soul to the love he craves  
With his arms he takes hold and wont let me go , 
The rain is coming down why he is holding me  
Down to the grown ! 
Teach me please what makes you run from me , 
I will speak thy speech of love, 
Laying flesh sweet to my spirit in the hands. 
Must a little weep, Love, (Foolish me!) 
And so fall asleep, my Love with me ,

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery /Judy Emery
