Monsoon

 My heart is wild and in a frenzy 

Like a sudden spell of rain 

Makes a peacock dance. 

For I see you then, 

O Lover of Love, 

In amidst the grey scale clouds, 

Like a ray of sunshine, 

Rebelling through the sky.

I see you in the soaking earth 

That smells so sweet.

I see you in that puddle and mud, 

Perhaps a rainbow rarely in sight. 

In the raindrops making art 

On the window panes it hit. 

In the music they make 

On each plastic sheet.

The monsoon has arrived in all its glory 

And with each droplet that falls, 

Like a waterfall 

Curving through my body 

Into my soul, I feel you nearer, in me, 

As the monsoon drenches me in your love!
