Kiss The Dust – A Quadrille
The steady rain kisses my cheeks
Mixing with my tears
I am waiting for you to come
and quell my deepest fears
Why are you so late my love?
I hope it is not true
You have found someone else
Maybe I always knew

Nice association of rain and tears kissing the cheek while the lover is absent.
Thank you Frank 🙂
Sad little verse..
Yes, poor girl. It is sad
Just when you think you found him you see the lesser charming prince
I think you’re right 😟💕
Yes, what a cad!
You encapsulated the feelings so well.
Thanks Ruth! 🙂💕
Oh a sad story within this poem. Tears mixing with rain….rain simply joining tears of disappointment rather than washing them away. Sad.
Thanks Lillian! I can see her standing there alone and she had been waiting for at least an hour and he no-showed 😞
Awww. So sad. I’ve been there.
Oh must of us have at some point 😕 Thanks for reading 🤭
