First Long Rains Poem by Ritu Shah

First Long Rains

Rating: 4.5


The first long rains
They remind me of you
Of falling in love for the first time
Of being in love with you

Winds are different each time
When they hit my face
Some blow loud
Some are gentle instead

Drops of rain
As they slide down my neck
It feels your touch
Rushing through my veins

As if you are near by
Holding me in your arms
The cold of thunder
Shadowed by your warmth

As they wet me all
You stand strong against me
They shall pass through you
If they want to reach me

I am close to you
But there is an urge to be closer
To say the unsaid
Or say it through the gestures

The first long rains
They remind me of you
My world had been so different
Had I be with you…
