Strangers'Inc asked me why I loved rains. Here's why...
Sitting silently
Eyes waiting, searching, questioning
And then, I hear
that familiar rumbling
lift my eyes, full of hope
and see the dark clouds looming above,
like old friends
Theyre back!
A smile tugs at my lips
I rush outside
trampling on the soft grass
gaze at the grey sky
Thundering, bellowing clouds
announcing their presence
I close my eyes and spread my arms,
welcoming them...
A drop caresses my face
followed by another
and another
Soon there are so many
showering like heavenly petals
sliding down my skin,
hugging my body,
trickling through my fingers...
Drenching my soul
Soaking my pain
Cleansing my mind
I feel pure, blessed, relieved
Enveloped in a wet embrace
I feel loved...

Don't get mad at fickle things like me,
Happy that the rains had time to see,
What I missed courtesy my chaotic ways,
Drenched smiling lips on an innocent face.
Enjoy the rains! and don't be mad no more :)

A smile tugs at my lips

Awesome!
Quite a poetess you seem to be! :) Yup rains can sometimes cleanse the soul. But, now that I live in the city where rains seem like a Mirage (no pun intended!), this makes me most wistful!

whenever someone say the magic word rain, presto, and i return to my childhood days. thanx buddy, for these nice lines, taking me on my fairy trip back to childhood, yet again.
i between, who wrote that stupid rhyme 'rain, rain go away'? as if little johny can't play in the rain.

nice,I could feel the rain on my skin,I could feel it get drenched,and surely did I hug it but,alas,it was short. ;)

u a rider??
keep the words flowin
@anubhav: Aw thts too bad...
@ms: har har
@dhruv: hey thnx! no man i'm not a rider, I just like horses thts all!
I don't like the rain very much. I am more of a sun person :-). Light drizzles are welcome. Anything that makes navigation a pain in the wrong places isn't!!
Anyways, a very nice poem, keep it going :-)
yeah ! I love rains too ...
Nice Poem ...
Reminds me of another verse on rain from a Dave Matthews Band song ....
"Gravedigger! when you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow?
So that I could feel the rain...
Oh ! gravedigger ...."
