You Came Like the Rain

The dead leaves were sparkled;

the splash of rain colored with life.

My barren heart found an immigrant's 
Love,

a sea of desire ruffled with inspiration.

My hands reached for eternity

years of isolation was broken.

Life's meaning was fulfilled.

You came like the Rain

with utmost joy I welcomed You

showered you with all my truism.

But desert is a place for cactus,

love bleeds in my heart.

Heathen Heart and  Heathen soul

they said, 'It was  a storm'...

You are really coming into your own like the symphony when they hit the heart string note.
