And it Rains...

Threatening to lash out
in all their fury
Your words rained on me incessantly.

Scathing, scalding and shattering
the sheer foundation
of my being
Your words rained on me incessantly.

Engulfing my taut skin-
hurling sting after sting
Shaking the sheer foundation
of my being
Your words rained on me incessantly.

Booming like a cloud burst–
thundering and overpowering
Devastating the sheer foundation
of my being
Your words rained on me incessantly.

Uncoiling their serpentine fang-
spewing venom
Ebbing the sheer foundation
of my being
Your words rained on me incessantly.

Groping out into the darkness,
grappling with my destiny;
A steady hand reached out to me…
As your words rained incessantly on me.

Healing my septic soul
with a mere touch-
Soothing my wilting spirits;
And dissolving the fears
festering within;
Calming the sheer foundation
of my being
As it went on to rain incessantly within me.


Annihilating the scars,
your words left behind–
Burying them into the grave
of the past
As it went on to rain incessantly within me.


The Seraph of my Life-
now guides and directs me
Stirring the sheer lightness
of my being –
Showering and loving me
As it continues to rain incessantly within me
...like never before.

~Cosmicrain~

The nebulous nimbus
bursts
into a pitter- patter dance

Enchanting the mogra
into
a magical trance

The parched gulnar
sways
to a lilting tune

The dusty haze, now
enshrines
a crystal rainbow

Glistening across
our
hypnotic horizon

~Desolate~

Parched land,
rents the air
A vacuous cry,
berates the sky

A lone robin
stares,
as the last drop
falls prey;
to a land
that reverberates,
to a death knell

Death?

“The vacuous
death- knell,
sounded off
by you

Was just
another awakening,
for us
to start anew”

Silence

“In the aura of silence
my soul
learnt
to speak wise

In the aura of silence
my soul
found
the path to light”
