A drop of rain...

Photo : ashok

Dusty wind –
        Dry leaves fly
Drunken clouds;
        Monsoon days
I look up
        The sullen sky
A drop of rain
        On my face

A Parched life
        Behind a mask
Caught in the arid
        Everyday grind
Few more drops
        Are all I ask
To cool my weary
        Worn out mind

With open arms
        The path I walk
No umbrella;
        No rain coat;
I crave to dance
        Like a peacock
A poet, a child,
        A carefree heart

  16. Break-free, butterfly, only you can break out of your cocoon! Did you try doing all that you have written? Dancing in the rain :) It is so refreshing :) You have an exceptional talent of stringing words together, my friend.
