The Winter Rain

Nights are black ,
Dark is the sky . .
Wings of fire . .
Lightening by !!

Dreams of Freedom ,
Full and Free . .
Raging Thunder ,
Fearlessly. . !!

Feeling alive .
The Winter-Rain . .
Drumming against the -
Window-pane .

Pouring down the Heavens ,
Sweet . . !!
Hail , the monsoon smell . .
And breathe . .

Dazzling moonlight ,
Drizzling dews . .
Dancing leaves and
They amuse. . !!

A rustling wind . .
A starry sky !!
A lonely swing . .
In the play-ground by !!

A gusty breeze . .
A glass of wine !!
A ghostly CHILL . .
Down my spine !!!

Wide my eyes ,
Gone numb my feet .
Jumped my heart . .
And skipped a Beat !

The Thunder growls !
A GOD of Greek !!
And every Bolt of Lightening . .
Speaks . . !!

Myth and Mighty ;
Perky pain . .
A soothing calmness
Grasp my brain .

I watch the sleepless ,
Moonlit lanes . .
And Live the insane . .
Winter Rain !!
