Life is passing me by; tis like the dusty streets
\nOft times, I feel only thunderstorms are for me<\/p>\n
And then like nascent flower buds,
\nLike daybreak from clutches of the night,
\nGushes love in to my life<\/p>\n
Like a hearty full-bodied rain,
\nDrenches me in its embrace
\nThe dusty streets revamped; a giant looking-glass
\nPitter-patter, plop – plop, their mesmerising drone
\nThey play out a melody; to the rainsong,
\nMy love-drenched heart plays a giddy tattoo<\/p>\n
The rain swathes me in her arms,
\nCreating merry whirlpools of desire in my breast
\nMy feet; the muddy puddles creating magical waves
\nO! The wellspring of desire becomes me
\nDrench me entirely, temptress rain, O I am in love…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
