I am riding from college to home <br />then the dark clouds downpoured <br />wiping the tiresome summer from my cheeks <br />reunion with my lover after a sweating wait <br /> <br />So dear people watchin me over and scanning <br />yes, i got wet...so what? ? ? ? ? <br />cant you see the overspeeding boys? ? <br />wet from hairtip to toe? ? ? ? <br />why am i alone the culprit? ? <br />why are you throwing those cold stares <br /> <br />Hold on is it a traffic rule? ? <br />that a girl cant ride in rain? <br />i deserve an explanation <br />on how i became a sinner <br />what did i steal from u all? ? <br />or did i kill your son? ? <br /> <br />I am just celebrating <br />the first drops of the best season.. <br />who are caressing me with passion <br />are you jealous on our little romance? ? <br />or is it that you are hydrophobic? ? <br /> <br />I stopped at the red signal <br />'insane girl' the sane people murmered <br />throwing stones at the sinner through stares <br />I took a look at myself.. <br />was i wearing the orange saree <br />that kareena kapoor wore in 3 idiots <br />that a rain or wind would make much difference <br />as far as i know, i am wearing the ugly college uniform <br />even a flood or hurricane cant make it interesting <br /> <br />So much of drama so much of commotion <br />the legendary me reached home <br />cold droplets clinging on to my curls <br />with the pain of parting <br />dear people, whatever you say <br />however you argue or reason <br />here I CONCLUDE.... <br />that this was the best ride of my life.....<br /><br />AV Anjali Menon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-rain-and-the-sinner/
