Singing To The Rhythm Of Rain Poem by Bharati Nayak

A little rain is hidden in my heart
When ever I see raindrops splash my window
The inside rain comes out to dance with them
Dance of ecstasy and dance of intimacy
They recognize each other
The enclosed rain asks ‘Where had you been'
The rain outside pours forth its emotions
I was in search for you for years
And here I find you in prison
The little rain sparkles in the eye
Says she in a voice barely audible
I too was waiting for you
Years have elapsed, I am imprisoned
I am even afraid to come out
The rain outside was trying to rush in
But little rain stopped him there
And went back to hide
The rain stopped
Her eyes were wiped.
