Hazy rain

a sleepless face beside me
opening her mouth wide to the hazy rain
and all those passing cars
like possibilities
washed away in hazy rain

they're like an endless river
a fate that will keep on unravelling
a stream of consciousness
without end, out in the hazy rain
oh i wish i was little again

a sleepless wisper in my ear
a calling from her memories
and it's hazy rain, it's hazy rain
and there's that boy again
telling her to stop crying

separated by the passing cars
she stands soaked in hazy rain
waiting for her childhood lover
and long passed luck and chances
but he can't hear her calling

and they fade away, in hazy rain
only a memory of the long lost
like a puddle in the morning
after a violent autumn storm
filled with drops of hazy rain

Inspired by a song of Something Corporate (see link), where they actually sing something like "she opens her mouth to the hazy rain". I was out walking in the autumn drizzle with my ipod on shuffle and this song comes up. And i get all nostalgic and depressed and... err... I'll stop now.

Åh, fint.. Jag kan verkligen se miljön framför mig. Jag gillar hur "hazy rain" återkommer, det lägger och håller kvar det disiga vädret och den genomgående atmosfären över dikten.

that was beautiful, really was! What was the sleepless face in the beginning though, the very first line?
I love imagery in this poem, rain makes everything very interesting, very poetic.

O sa...
