Strange Moods Of Rain – Rain & Wind Poem by Angelina Pandian

A big plop on my cheek
A wet kiss
As I looked up to see
Whether it was going
To or not rain
As if knowing your mind
The breeze around
Gave me a chill hug
With me pulling in
My clothes flying free
All in disarray
What plot you two
Are upto now together
I wondered gathering speed
I walked fast towards
Shelter and rescue
The wind it howled at me
For trying to escape
And the rain came
A thousand drops at once
Touching and pinching my face
Nails of water raked my skin
The breeze didn’t soothe
It was a torrentious wind
Swirling in frenzy around me
Full of dust and grime
It seemed as if it pawed me
My feet they entwined
The wet skirt hindered me too
Still I ran quick and fast
Small steps I took splashing
With the mud splattering about
A distant light, a crowd
I saw, huddled together
Under a skimp shelter
Some came to my help
With open umbrellas too
To help me reach the shelter
It was not much and seemed
The whirling wind
The force of rain - Both
Were bent to bring it down
And make me helpless once again
Soaked to the bone shivering
With the chill and cold wind
The gentle drizzles of the past
And the cool brush of breeze
Were forgotten and both seemed
Like foes fighting against themselves
To show their supremacy to me
At end spent both died down
The rain it said sorry
With drizzling tears
Kissing my cheeks
The breeze too became gentle
Caressing me in its sweep
It stroked away my pain
Both friends made amends
And I was cooled to my soul!
