Description Silence emerges from the sound of rain
and spreads in a crescendo of gray monotony
over the narrow street I contemplate.
I’m sleeping while awake,
standing by the window,
leaning against it as against everything.
I search in myself for the sensations I feel
before these falling threads of darkly luminous water
that stand out from the grimy building facades
and especially from the open windows.
And I don’t know what I feel or what I want to feel.
I don’t know what to think or where I am.

Dramatic and unexpected colours- the clash of orange and green suggests the work of an expressionist painter!

here.. the sky wears many shades
with tempests trying the most diverse fashions

for while sunsets tend to hold their general tone
storms are full of.. emotions
dancing rain and rolling clouds
reflecting the struggle of life
as in an instant light may change

once fled deep sea green skies 
that mowed the grass with icy knives
a bold bruised colour purple  nearly ended me
have even been marked by a rainbow
that called peace too soon
