I woke up with the lingering of my yester night's dream <br />That went on sprinkling with drops of lovely hope <br />For a real day full of your affectionate touch <br />That can soothe my inmost restlessness <br />Chilly breeze made me run, (not to shiver) <br />And wait outside for your royal fall <br />Passed a few moments, then hours <br />Yet came none to visit my heart depth <br />And to unearth what was kept in secret there <br />If you were here holding me in your cordial hug <br />I would whisper the deepest thoughts <br />Of mine in your formless ears <br />And would giggle in your sweetest stroke <br />Very slowly I sensed the painful fact that <br />You were fooling me with soulless promises <br />That you had given me the very previous day <br />You had found out my unusual warmth <br />That was hidden deep within myself <br />I'd believed in your farewell smile hoping <br />That you would come down very soon, <br />To cover me once again with your coolest arms <br />But realized my own pettiness now <br />But, dear, do keep resting in the lap of clouds <br />I'm waiting, waiting and waiting till my time ends.<br /><br />Rajeswari A V<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/awaiting-rain/
