the sky was overcast <br />and any moment <br />it may unleash <br />needles of rain drops <br />we were on a recliner <br />in that circular verandah <br />wiping the sweat off the brow <br />for some reason <br />the clouds decided to <br />drift with the wind <br />and the sky turned <br />plain and forlorn <br />i casually looked into your eyes <br />and saw the reflection of the <br />thick dark clouds floating on <br />the skies of the whites of your eyes <br />ready to burst... <br /> <br />no, i didn't ask you the reason <br />but held your hand firm <br />and assumed the form of a piece of earth <br />all ready to absorb the gush of rain... <br /> <br />16oct2009 <br />21.59hrs<br /><br />indira babbellapati<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-the-clouds-chose-to-drift/
