Salvation: Rain

Salvation! Your name is rain! You bring sweet
fluidity to fill my heart! Behold,
I flow with water’s grace; please, cool cruel heat
of desert fire; chilling kiss is bliss, gold

on sun-scorched skin. Begin your libations,
decant elemental essence, living
earth-wise demands carnal sensations; come,
beat your pulse into my pleasured cells. Bring

soothing surcease to weary land of skin. Press
upon my fevered brow your imprint. Flesh
begs for surcease of mental anguish, dress
my form in liquid silk. My need, to bless

my unity, send gales of hails cleaving
mind youthfully blown -- seed my believing.

Shakespeare is dead, Margarita, I am alive. I thank you, though, for the new knowledge you've given me. :)

"Salvation: Rain" is a combination of realism-surrealism-symbolistical set of imagery.

I am impressed with your artistic-philosophical style and creativity. It is always a pleasure to read your outstanding work.

Shakespeare wrote many pieces rhyming VERB-WITH-VERB.
In your first, second stanzas, and closing lines you do the same. Please, stay away from Shakespeare mistakes. There is no poetic license for rhyming verb with verb.

Your works will etch your name forever as a poet.

Good day.

Margarita Caligaris, Litt.D., Ph.D.
