Drenched in rain <br />You came knocking <br />At my closed door <br />I saw your face <br />Gleaming with raindrops <br />And your unique smile <br /> <br />You pushed away the raindrops <br />Off your forehead <br />And looked at me <br />In a boyish glee. <br /> <br />Where have you been, <br />I said feigning anger <br /> <br />Can't you see, <br />I came back twice alive <br />Just for you, <br />You said. <br /> <br />There had been rain <br />And what rain it was! <br /> <br />It soaked my native soil <br />And my vegetation <br />Absorbed the rain drops <br />Together they opened <br />All the niches of my lungs <br />So far closed as I plodded <br />On the routine dusty tracks <br />The canals and streams <br />Overflowed to wash away the murk <br />Accumulated on the bizarre paths <br />And you know, <br />They even quenched <br />My unquenchable thirst <br /> <br />Listen, <br />The soothing winds <br />Blowing from the far end <br />Touching the village cemetery <br />Caused me come alive <br />Just for once. <br /> <br />I guarded the life <br />And came rushing to you!<br /><br />indira babbellapati<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poem-that-came-alive/
