About the Poem
This poem was written for my wife as we are having marital problems right now. She is searching for herself, as am I, and feels she needs some freedom. We have been married 15 years,13 of which have been wonderful. We have been struggling the last two years and have reached a pivotal point in our lives.
This was my way of showing her how I felt about her and what I feel she needs from me. I love her very much still and hope I reach her heart.

| You want me to love you like a cloud loves the rain... I should set you free in hopes of seeing you again... But I can't help but feel Like a desert in the sun... Ignored by the rain which is elsewhere having fun... The lightning in this cloud is sharp and very uncertain... The cloud needs to set the rain free Across the desert like a curtain... In hopes the rain will make flowers bloom and reach up to the sky... And not rush away quickly Leaving all dusty and dry... So give this cloud strength To rain like never before... To give his sweet love wings So she can finally soar... Then just maybe as she flies high back into the air... She will join her cloud again Who will be patiently waiting there... The cloud will hunger for the rain's return Like someone searching for gold and mining... For I am a dark cloud now But you are my silver lining... |

J: Your poem touched me for I can truly relate to it, I am like Your wife and My husband like You... with the exception that he he is not as willing to let go to allow me the Freedom I 'need after 17 years of marriage I wish he would, If only for just a lil' while. Thank You for this 'Eye Opening Poem You have written.
