Heavy rains

With the umbrella in my hand_

I stepped out that day;

Black clouds and roaring thunder _

Zap came the flash of lightning and

The sky came down pouring;

The greens were rejoicing _

The birds rushing towards their shelter;

I clapped and sang aloud

all these 20 years back;

The rains have never changed _

nor the nature which used to welcome it;

But how strange !!!!

I am no more the same;

Now, once again the rain  has come back

 Today I drench myself in rain _

 to subside my inner emotions

that is corroding me deep within;

Fortunate that I could cry

 hiding the tears under the slashing rain;

I know the rains would stop some time _

I wouldn’t be able to let out my pain;

But my bleeding heart will wait _

until the next heavy rains….
