With Rain Came Love

WITH RAIN CAME LOVE Cool breeze Cumulus clouds Breeze solidifies, Drizzling Monsoon rain White threads move to Heavy shower. Rain smiles And with rain came love. Long journeys Longing leaning on his back In the valley Where meteors shower Unexpected momentary moments Eddied life, Glimpses like water bubbles Shadows overpowered specks of lights Specks of laurels Sudden borders to dreams Yonder in the sky departing clouds Swollen rain clouds Lustre obscure Renunciation with disinterest Rain and love spreading over Love brought silence Mermaids, water nymphs Stood guard. We went close at heels Along turbulent back waters We sat, in grief In rain and mystifying silence Passion delivered And kept in store Spread over us. Rain peeping through Birch trees Rain lashing through Gulmohar Geography of silence Without a speck of dirt Pious communion Of love and rain. Wailing hornbills, compassionate Invoked rain She saw us in deep grief Grief of life- Love in deep sleep blushed into Wakefulness. Longing, sights and rude realities Cosmic force showers Moments of eternal bliss. In steep valley of sterility Ascetic sun winked At welcome clouds Dryness transplanted Into alluvial softness. Rude faces, sights and longings Lost way, Emerged throbbing passion. Showers of love, Showers of mystic bliss.
