Rain poured and poured that day in May

As we embraced while getting soaked.

It slapped still waters in the bay

Now greyed by fog, its surface cloaked.

Young love is not put off by squalls,

Deterred by sudden drenching rain.

A boy and girl if one recalls

Yen for each other, won’t complain.

Kissed sweetly and the rain’s ignored

Incessant though it seems to be,

Such joy an unforeseen reward.

So we continued ceaselessly

Enjoying kisses, wondrous sighs

Soft-spoken ‘neath rain-splashing skies.
