Amidst the Storm
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter,
Those slippery slugs pelting down
as little glass shards upon my brow;
I scurry to the car, jeans muddied and wet,
traversing the ripples --
Sneakers squawking like ducklings
en route to their death;
At last, I make it back to that
glistering hunk of metal,
Handle iced over, still I manage
to open the door;
Whoosh! A burst of brumal air
thrusting me forward
As I hurl my wares upon the
passenger side floor;
Brrr, it's bitter out here!
Oh, how I detest this time of year
when the sun skulks and sneers
and time slumbers like a bear;
I rush to fire up the heat
with a taut twist of a frozen key,
Blast! Another blow, this time to my
benumbed cheeks and nose,
Oh, how I ne'er cease to forget
to reorient the grates;
Perhaps, I'll rest but for a moment
and await the rain to abate;
Peering out my side window, I cerebrate:
I wonder --
Do the nimbi know of their liquid lattices,
glistering like crystals, bending with each facet?
For their silky spectacles mollify so --
All the more those tearful torrents
at present cascading from wound to loam;
Perhaps, there's more to our borrowed time
than pursuing paths that elude the storm,
For there bides no such thing as dancing in the rain
if there's naught worth fighting for.

Raindrops fall on the window
Like my thoughts occur in my mind

Before they accumulate and wash away...3 0preetkanwal 17w

Raindrops suddenly knock at my window
Without warning it hit me with wind blow
Carrying a below zero sorrow
I never know this night brings no light like no morrow
You know I'm not scared in rain
I also love nights no complain
But for now let me shiver in pain
Cause what I thought rain is hurricane
I cannot see any sun nor moon
Just an spacious broke dark room
So don't judge me for a while, let me live like a star
Trying to stay afloat in dusty life seal in empty jar
#miraquill #wod #raindrop
#nightlife #dodoitsu @miraquillThe day I had an umbrella
But lost my home
Sometimes I fear rain in life
Cause I don't know what it brings
Is it luck or misery?
Will I be ready?

Gratefull for the tiny drops of your touch
Which heals me in every tough.
Every moment you drop from the heavenly
I always begin enjoying you with a cup of hot tea..
Completely lost in an another world of dreams
Thinking of what the coming life would be..
Every time you fall from the gloomy sky
I went out of doors to feel you, and
begin to play and fly..
Your shower is the most peaceful thing
which used to heal my every paining..
But it had been so long, yet you haven't come..Photo By Sarah Hongerloot on Unsplash10 0Raindrop
The rain drop started to fall,
after breaking the clouds with thunder storm,
just like the drop which fall from her eyes,
after breaking the 4-chambered heart.
- ZPhoto By Milada Vigerova on Unsplash12 0Its raining again today ,
Just like it did that day ,
Though far apart ,
Still remembers a part.
Tracking down a drop ,
From starting to finish,
Almost starting to wish,
A part of me didn't exist.
Flashes of past ,
Shadows they cast ,
And yet it's not dreaded ,
As if completely accepted.
A song in background,
Pulls me around ,
Thrusts me to reality,
Reminding me of loyalty.
Let it all rest now,
And winnow ,
For today you had enough,
And tomorrow will be tough..

At the window side I sit
Daze in the thought of my own
My head is blank like a new book
At the window side I sit
Don't even know what to worry about
All I know is that my heart is heavy
At the window side I sit
Looking into the bright sun as it shines
Wondering when my life will shine
At the window side I sit
Lost in my blanked head
As a sound brought me back from my wonderland
Tum it sounds
As the raindrop slowly lands
Oh! The cloud has gathered
Little did I know when the weather changed
Now the raindrop is dropping so fast
And I could fill my hand with water in no time
My head filled with memories
Of how I used to play in the rain
when I was younger
I smiled as I splash the water to myself

There comes the rain,
Knocking at the window pane.
Playing its choral tune,
With the arrival of the month of June
Listening to the sound Pitter-Patter, Pitter-Patter;
Mom preparing the fritter-batter.
I am lost in the world of my book;
Being mesmerized with the rhythm of rain brook.
Rain tapping at the window glass,
Giving the vibe of music class.
Feeling as a pluviophile is so ecstatic,
The earthy petrichor is so aesthetic.
Rain dropping to kiss,
For life on the earth is the heavenly bliss.

"Raindrops"
Near the dusk,
sepia hued sky,
clouds overcasts,
rain is about to fall
down any moment.
all these is seen from
the window of room
where I'm sitting like
a statute,feeling sad.
silent tears keep on
rolling down my cheeks
red eyes gaze sepia light,
my chin is down on joined
knees,body slouched in pain,
heart is nebulous as much the
sky is now,lips tightly pressed.
I feel blank alongside aggrieved.
still somehow i could enshroud
despair,not going to cry anymore.
instead,let me enjoy the rain now.
let me just get commingled to it.10 3 1- lovenotes_from_carolyn Beautiful, poignant, sad; and a wonderful ending!!

A Raindrop Sign
A sign:
A sign is all that I asked,
As I sat by the window,
Lost in thoughts,
Contemplating about the loop of happiness and distraught.
Isn't it strange that
We spend a lifetime in penury,
Losing our essence out of agony,
Whereas not spend a day in celebrating our victory?
As I sat by the window,
I saw a raindrop
Slowly descending down the window pane,
And at this point, came to the realisation that
Even the descend has a beauty engraved to it,
That meets your eyes only when you change your viewing prospect.
A sign:
A sign is all that I asked
And found it through the falling raindrop
That peace lies in the perception that we adopt,
While dealing with happiness and distraught.
That falling things could be beautiful too ,
For it enhances the value of victory rendezvous.

Raindrops race down crying glass
My sinking heart beats faster still
I wipe away reflective tears
That ebb and flow onto the sill
I guess at seeds that have been sown
That thrive in rain or hail or shine
Weeds that can't be reasoned with
Or topped or rooted out in time
I pretend and pray for sun
Waiting for the storm to pass
Battered petals wilt and wane
And shatter on the hardened grass
I stare out through the foggy pane
And wonder if I am to blame
©maolros15 1 4Agony
The despair is the sweat of the demons inside
Can you see it? how like raindrops it imbibes
Deserted inside,just leftover of traveller tribes
You can never notice how the core of me vibes

Inside of each raindrop is a beautiful baby rainbow, and inside each of us is a cute child, embrace.
#raindrop @miraquill @writersnetwork
#reverie #child #wod #pod #rain #rainbowRain-Lapse
Softly, tugged my body and soul, again
As my home and reality fades behind the rain
I drift among the clouds, smirk at the petrichors chuckle,
Laughter replaces, as the drops tickle,
And suddenly I can feel my insides dance,
Being lead into a beautiful trance,
Where I become the wind, carefree, everywhere,
My magical manse, made by melting mares,
That whispers whims of the moon,
My senses converge, granting me the boon,
Of feeling every soul of the world.
Kisses from dew drops in my neck,
From the clouds, oh, a loving peck,
I brush past the raindrops, hear them gasp,
Seven flavours of the lost rainbow, I clasp,
See the sky change its mood to play
With me, so I decide to stay,
For a little long in my rain-lapse reverie,
When the sky wants you there, what's more heavenly!
"Inside of each raindrop is a beautiful baby rainbow, and inside each of us is a cute child, embrace"

Philanthropy of the cloud is the raindrop
Living a selfless life and taking nothing in turn
Poets quench them with all their heart
To recycle the poetic rainfall everytime

#writersnetwork #raindropRain drop
Isn't it supposed to be warm inside
When my eyes are following the
Raindrops on the pane
slowly moving down the aisle,
made exclusively for them?
The memories you gave
won't let me ( i know)
Feel the gelid gale ever.
They've kept your promise
And I am never dying cold
So (I guess) what I feel inside is
Merely an achromic void.
That is being knocked by
The voice of the drizzles
And where petrichor wants to enter
Am I supposed to let them in?
Or they'll fluster the sanctity
That you embedded in me?
Okay, I'll let the voids remain there
And wait for you to come back
Some rainy day....

#nightlight #raindrop #wod
Lonely nights like this unravel the threads of my mind
As the raindrops roll down my window my tears mimick them
You were a light in the dark
A safe dock in the vast sea
One drop, one tear
Months, then years
No sign from you
No clues for the truth
Life will never be the same again
Your laughter, your tender gaze
Nothing can wash away the pain
I am lost inside this scary maze
Are you a lost star in the night?
Will living on ever feel right?Right

"You don't have to get wet to be good friends with the
rain, just feel the rhythm of raindrops in your soul"
—Mehmet Murat ildan
THANK YOU @writersnetwork
#raindrop #wodRaindrops
Raindrops transpire like a peek of
Ammi's Asr prayer when it rains
in the heart of a star-full night,
some raindrops saunter backwards
with embryones of hope to your
hallway while some roll down with
the earth against your window
awning putting off some outcries
of the latter colourless autumn
Oft when I sit to replenish the voids
of my week worn, paper furrowed
pencil colour colouring, raindrops
tickle down catching me up again to
hoist the curtains and gawk for the
activity in the streets, with the taxis
hurrying windshields and an old couple
waddling under one garish umbrella
My father says, raindrops prompt
him of the days when he was 22,
his amethyst bicycle and the giant pits
he shoved it through at the college gate
And the rain-fresh leis of paperwhites
he shaped while discontinuing the
classroom with his friends
On Fridays raindrops scent of his
perfume and the garnet glassed
Hennessy while slowly bumping
with the mud pots at the winding
path making music with tweets
of sparrows and starlings, jumping
in the rivers and roadside rivulets
Raindrops are a memo from
memories twirling on a black
and white wheel of happiness
with evening city fogs and the
early wet meadows at its feet

Hope-2
Caliginous sky
Downpouring
Overturning and Drowning
Hope in the
"River of gloom"
Despair, Hatred began to
"Bloom"
Life jacket of wisdom
Floating away
Chances are scanty
Problems are plenty
Grab the jacket
Make the hopes Bloom
It's not today
"The day of your Doom"...
