one evening in the rain.. there was love, then there was pain

as i stand on the misty downs, my feet hurting the grass, fresh pearls of dew break at my feet. the cold breeze engulfs me in new found loneliness . my ears strainfor your footfall. all there is, is a sinewy howl in my ears. all off a sudden, you come hurtling down finding me again after being momentarily separated in the mist. A tear drop is hurled aside as you pummel into me. your hands burning deep into me. your face hot and flushed with emotion. i feel your heart race.. probably with fear or with the relief of finding me.

it starts raining.

i stand stunned. at the transformation that you have undergone. locks plastered to your forehead. the raindrops slither down your face in small rivulets. and your eyes opening wide. a smile dances on your face. i know its the rain that makes us crazy. Huddling in the freezing downpour, i feel this strange fire in us, walking down hand in hand from that beautiful landscape into your own mind scape.

later...

i find myself staring at you sleeping, as u stir and half knowing smile and doze off your hands firmly grasping mine into your chest. i look outside and the panes are awash with renewed zest by the falling drops from heaven. some even seem to stand still as they steal a peek at us lit by lightning . i drift away to sleep knowing in the darkness i have seen colors indescribable in the blackness outside and felt things in the cold emptiness that complete me.

in your sleepy smile
in your wild racing heart,
in tears of rain,
in you

i KNOW

I AM.......
