The skies are dark and dreary
As the rain falls down to earth
I look outside and shudder
And I move closer to the hearth.
Even though the weather is lousy
The sky is dark and dreary
I'm smiling to the world outside
Because inside I am cheery.
I no longer see the skies
But rather the birth of new life
The weather no longer depresses me
Or causes me to feel so much strife.
You've changed the way I feel
And the way in which I see
I guess it's all for the better-
All the changes you've made in me.
Against my window pane
The rain is falling gently
And through the leaves that are rustling
The wind is blowing softly.
I stop looking out the window
Because all I see is you
Dancing in the wind and rain
And you're soaked-all the way through.
I look back to the work I have
But I cannot get it done
For there you are in front of me
Laughing, and having fun.
I'm missing you this very moment
And every other time
I cannot see or talk to you
I guess that's all the time.
I want to be there with you
Where ever you may be
I want to hold onto you
So you're always there with me.

this is a very good poem, but it seems like it is missing something...maybe an explanation. still, i really like it; especially the imagery you use.
