Dancing in the Rain

 Leaving the world behind, we danced in rain.  

Your alluring voice pulling me through time,

A spark that can cure the world of its pain;

My heart beats a rhythm that has no rhyme.

Like a phoenix, you help me rise from ash. 

My heart beats a feeling that I can’t fight. 

Drenched in rainwater, in the shortest flash

I can’t help but fall for you in my sight.

But our winding paths diverge, I can’t stay:

The final thread holding with all my strength 

Life has a way of leading us astray, 

A thousand miles away, such a far length

I still dance in the rain, just like before

As if someday you’ll come back to my door.

My name is Shelly, and I am a high school junior from St. Louis, Missouri. This is a romantic sonnet about a person looking back at memories that they made with another person.
