This poem was inspired by a photo shared by AShakur and Jolayne. Coincidentally, “Rain Song” by The Tay, was playing in the background, while I started and finished it.

Taking Cover From The Rain by Jemar Souza

Many precious moments
Are cursed in vain.

We fabricate pain,

When love and smiles,
Would fit just the same -

It’s truly a shame.

So I thank those two lovers,
And the toddlers in colors,

For opening my heart,
That one day,

When they chose to take cover
From the Rain.
