The Monsoon Ballad - 2 : Waiting for the rain....

They say he's been coming often these days and waiting outside my window for me,
I've been too busy to even know if its bright or cloudy, or which part of the day it is outside!!
Heard he's spread the carpet of green all over, for me to see and smile when I peep out of my window. But I've been shut away in a box with lots of staplers and letter pads for company, occasionally clicking on my mouse... Googling the weather and blue skies in 'another part of the world'... fantasizing if I could run away and live there forever!
And I complain I've been a slave to this corporate weather. And all I breathe is the smell of paper....
I take detours in my mind, wonderin how it'd have been if I was a farmer on the hill side! And I could've seen him often, wearing a rainbow crown on his head....Oh I definitely think you're handsome, Rain!!
And I day-dream about getting drenched in a sweet surrender, and I imagine the droplets chatter occasionally, humming my favorite serenading melody of yonder!
And I wonder... if he would come again and knock at my window pane, will I know?!? Will I hear it from among the screeching sounds of the printer or the ringing phones?!
And I wonder outside, are the leaves drunk yet?! And are the flowers swaying like mad?! And is the sun sleeping, enjoying his holiday today?!
And are you, Oh Rain, waiting outside for me again?!?

The Monsoon Ballad - 3 : Floral Romance!!

And the young and handsome Flower In full bloom Stood proud and tall in his glory "majestified"! Sweet summoning scent Of his perfume sets the heart a-throbbing Pulsating and b eating Leaves the senses mesmerized!! You see his proud stance and arrogant charm But seldom its known  that secretly he stalks the Sun! While he knows not That the bees and the drones Are soon gonna arrive Uninvited!!

Towards more picturesque speech... My tribute to The Reader's Digest!!

Things i love............. -- Poetry...as much as prose! Reading, writing and pondering upon things... To the sea- Once while watching the waves continuously pulled up and pulled back it looked as though someone was trying to make a bed and couldn't get it right spreading the sheet properly!!!!!! :P \m/ Not to forget, i felt closest to "YOU'' too!!! But i love the MOUNTAINS more!!!!!!! -- A good pun is its own re-word!!! \m/ But why is it that we DO have to pay for a short-cut in the long run?!?! We've known for sure that a small chip on the shoulder can indeed get to be heavy load!!!! But times are a-changing and today's modern boy would rather follow his father's tyre tracks, than his footsteps!!! And have u ever wondered, did Elizabeth tailor her own clothes?!?!? -- Metaphors- I love painting word pictures. And literally, "metaphorically speaking.." happens to be my favorite phrase!! :P Think about this- A tiny acrobat of hope somersaulted in h...

Alright, so you can seduce my mind and have my body. But, do you think its clever?!? I wonder how it'd be, Ah, its a silly thought, i know; as silly as me; But if you could find my soul and see me as a whole Then you could have me "forever"!!! Perhaps...
