I walked into the rain
Amidst a thousand revelers
Dancing and roaring
As they splashed waters
On each other’s twinkling eyes.
I felt the waters piercing my
wrinkled,
Thirsty skin, which hesitated a
little
At the maiden touch of the frenzied
rain…
I shivered, as the heat of my body
Began to leave me, complaining
The new one’s encroachment.
And I felt guilty
For expelling the one
That burned my soul and flesh
For days and nights…
Yes, the summer has left my life!
As I drenched in the new rain’s exotic
order,
I became an emptiness… a void..
I stood in those heavenly showers
Until I got myself dampened and full…
Until I lost myself …
