POETRY | Rainy Musings by Karisshma Kaur

POETRY | Rainy Musings by Karisshma Kaur

Share this article via


Drizzles make me giddy
Thunderstorms bring the melancholy
Air back into my lungs and thoughts into my brain
Morning showers illuminate
My eternally frenzied imagination
I love the way she is a distraction
Teetering on the ledge of destruction
With all the elegance of a Muse
And all the violence of a gale
Were she a religion
A saint, I’d remain
Were she a mortal sin
Insatiable, I would thrive
Cool droplets trickle down
My beaming face
The drizzle whirls me to Paris
Mellow, pink and romantic
I huddle under the meager shelter
Of a grim and dim bus-stand
The thunder bellowing in my ears
I’m in a place called Peril
Alas! She makes me aware and fear
The charming, hypnotic curse of mortality
Through detriment and desire
I remain faithful to her forces
Yearning and thrusting
In this whimsical enigma
I’m alone and I’m home
I guess you could say
The rain is my spirit
My torrential, turbulent, entrancing, spirit

    Subtle sanity languishing into a serene utopia of calm. Excellent poem for human sanity!
