RainCall

Its been long I've lost my peace of mind

But when it rains

Still I can take a moment

Listening to the rain brings back all the colors wet n hazy n harmonic 

Something beyond all scars n fears

Honest enough to ask myself for something or someone...


I brought myself carefree 

In my teen I gathered courage to free my soul

All those days n evenings under the rainfall 

Showered my every insecurity n every emptiness

Water n mud, trees n grasses, clouds n thunderstorms

They embraced me like one of them

Skin on skin forever

Still I sense the smell of rain in my skin n breath 

Like rain never left me 

I've come along far away...


Here night is deepening 

Rain n thunderstorms r in my ear 

like calling for thousand years

To embrace again

To hold my damp palms n fingers in adorance

To listen to my laughter loud n

To smile back to me

To wipe my tears n

To cry for me

To absorb my scream n

To scream out me

To greet my kiss n

To kiss me back

To hear my unspoken whispers n

To whisper back in my lips 

To sing n dance with me

To live n die with me again n again

To take me as own,  inseparable one, 

Sensitive n wet, inside n out...
