The Rhythm of Rain

Oh! At last  the rain has arrived,

On the mighty wings  of wind,

Painting smeary black on the sky,

Lashing silky white hair,

On the strong concrete pediments,

Down  comes the rain

Forcing the metro to chill.

Oh !the mighty drops are here again,

Spilling cool  spray on the sky scrappers

Drenching  the ground still parched and thirsty

Slowing down the motors to creep a while

The pied crested cuckoo in panic far away,

Down pours the rain with

Bleakly white drops.

The bountiful Rain ravished

On the metro life

Roaring as a lion a while

And shimmering as a sword

Played with the naughty boy,

Stretching hands in the balcony,

The drenching lovebirds moved

Closer  sharing the warmth,

Charming bride’s dimples

Glittered in the neon,

With crystal clear droplets.

The rain in the metro drizzled,

As a sweet melody of  first love,

The green started spouting,

And the tiny tot giggled,

The handsome guy whistled

Why the girl next door blushed ?

Through the misty curtained window.

Down comes  the drop  tick ..tick ..tick

Is that the rhythm ,of my own heart?

The rain in the metro gushes and gushes

Bringing life and hope once again

And for ever
