Have You Ever Seen The Rain

Calm before the storm,
I know, have you ever seen
the rain?

Comin' down on me,
she's so wonderfully vain,

Her hard credentials aren't
precisely suited for my
ambitions.

I knew her in those early
years, Creedence remembers
her as Fogerty's raving beauty
groupie with a sparkling
personality and luscious tits.

Kind of mind Fogerty admired,
missed in himself, him and I
fell head over heels for all her
charms.

Fogerty and I invested our
salaries in her modeling career,
we bought her a flash of limelight
that her sensitized vanity could
have done without.

Playboy featured her 21-page
spread in the magazine,
cavorting through a skiing
weekend with me in Aspen
and a glossy photo shoot for
blue jean ads on billboards.

I rubbed her back on a red velvet
couch in the lobby of Hotel Jerome,
kissed her from head to foot.

The photos and captions implied
we spent our nights together as
well as the days, drank Dom Perignon
champagne from crystal monogrammed
flutes.

I put her blanket-wrapped on
the train, calm before the storm,
when its over so they say, it'll
rain a sunny day.

She withdrew from the modeling
agency, later she turned up on
the cover of Cosmopolitan with
Fogerty, Beautiful People.

I wanna know, h
ave you ever
seen the rain?

I wanna know, have you ever
seen the rain comin' down a
sunny day?

I have so MISSED you Miss Sage... if this write doesn't make each of us question the very blurred boundaries of our own sexuality and sensuality... incorporating all that in which we find beauty and erotic stimulation, then I will be very surprised. Your power with words is such that unseen veils magically lift on worlds of which we may have very little personal experience, but on worlds which are psychologically easy to break into if the mind is laid open. And, once you have the mind, the body's experience can follow... After all, the mind is the biggest sex organ going, no?! Beautiful People seem rather asexual, actually, sometimes, don't they?! :)) They just ARE beautiful!! Don't mind me if I'm yatterin out of where the sun don't shine... perhaps it's cos I've seen the rain??!! Or me head's in the clouds or sumthin... LOL Kate xx

I love the 'ballad style' of prose... Don't see or hear it much anymore.

Oh Sage couldn't hear the music ... and so love that song! I love the picture -- 'SO CLOSE'.... but yet SO FAR for some... but not for others!
Again, the diversity of your writings is great... this time, you've captured a moment of 'the glamour world', the 'beautiful people', or as some called the group at Sydney danceparties 'the tinsel-town people/the beautiful people'....:-D... Fun write!
(I've posted another children story 'Meeting wild horses' where we visit the mustangs in Nevada and learn a Native American Indian horse/herd secret... I'd love you to read when time)
Love, Suzie :-D

First of all I love Creedence, and John Fogerty is absolutely awesome, as is that song " Have you ever seen the Rain "...:)
You continue to hypnotise and mesmerize with your cavalier and pioneering works and labours, at the risk of incurring jealousy amongst your peers...You Sage are the First Lady of the Den !!!
Rock on Master Alchemist !
