The Slant Rains
THE SLANT RAINS
They grew up in the same sprawling city
Didn’t meet until they became neighbors
He was struck by the radiance of her beauty
The first time he saw her in twilight hours.
With fantasy of love months passed him by
He couldn’t muster the courage to talk to her
Except for uttering smile-laced passionate ‘Hi’
Whenever they chanced to cross each other.
She didn’t know when his dreamy eyes
Lit the candle of love in her heart’s corner
Beyond measure it took her by surprise
When she craved for his arms to hold her.
Coming home on a cloudburst night they met
Under the dim street light in a desolate corner
In his arms he felt her warmth in the body wet
The slant rains fused the two hearts together.
