Rain-Taste [Poem]

Author's Note:

There's no poems in this anthology. I guess it's time to change that.

one thing
i adore more than
most things
in my cherished life
is to stick out my tongue when the rain falls

they splash
cool and heavy
with a great big plop
and a burst of sky-flavor
fresh and cool in my mouth

in them
i taste not the city above
where they have been made
or the wilds they have known
i know the mountains
and paradise with hints
of far-away places
in each drop

my tip:
savor them alone
for then rain's flavor is best
when your laughter weaves with thunder
any hooves can fly
with a leap meant to catch
the sweet taste of rain

listen if
you wish to taste more
then out into my night please run
be fleet on your hooves
and quiet in the darkness
because the rain will dance louder
stick your tongue out during any night's storm
without a single word
you shall know
the flavor of stars

best when
had alone is any kind of rain
but if there is someony special
who makes you the eye of every storm
so you can share the world's center
together
then give them the rain
for nopony else

with sombra
i can share every storm
each calm after
the chill of flavor
like no other
and rain-flavored kisses
and in them
i taste everything
