A Sudden Visitor

By Patrick Rain | May 26, 2016 - 4:48 pm |January 18, 2017 Everyday Life

So today I woke up to find a visitor at my door. Right next to the doorsteps of my home there is a light. Apparently, a bird liked the spot for his nest.

The sword was an antique piece. It wasn’t cared for all these year, that’s for sure, but underneath the thick layer of dust and cobwebs was a beautiful ornamented blade that’s destined for the museum. Its blade was straight and quite short with a hilt that had a big pummel. The pummel itself seemed to be gilded and ornamented with various jewels or gemstones. Continue reading →

Serendipity is hiding,
Awaiting with the intention – to surprise,
With a fated meeting,

No way it would take place,

Thinking

By Patrick Rain | May 19, 2016 - 12:26 am |January 18, 2017 Poetry

The ever-increasing momentum,

Hundreds of branching paths to chose from,
But no intention to stop,
Going from one idea to the next,

The sly sullen sky,
Raining, crying,

A Hue of Daydreams

By Patrick Rain | May 14, 2016 - 12:20 am |January 18, 2017 Poetry

The color of hope,
A soft blemish,
That’s lightly embellished,

A hue of daydreams,
That burns with aspirations,
That never withers in frustration,

With eyes closed,
Things can be vividly seen,
Memories,

And within the mind recollected,
Again and again,

Monday is the star,
That leads the rest,
A parade that’s eternal – repeating,

The time lives on –
Work chores responsibilities –
Until it’s Friday and for a second,
it stops.
