The Yesterday's Rain


The rain birthed life everywhere. The dry, parched earth sucked in the nectar- its thirst insatiable .Oh for the fragrances that lingered - fresh and pristine – like the swirls of incense in the air. After sweltering summers, the rain was a pleasant welcome. Every one experienced unparalleled joy – everyone felt ecstatic as they bathed in the beauty of the pelting drops. One - two – hundred – thousands of drops – that ended the might of the Sun – that devastated the cruel and merciless rule of heat – that cleansed, smoothed and soothed the scorched and cindered beings.

Yesterday, the rains possessed us all.

    I like the way you stepped outside of a person and into nature with clear and concise imagery. It rained here today, and you described it well.

    How beautiful! We had a few dark clouds pass by our home yesterday and I was praying they would give us a refreshing shower to perk up our garden but it wasn't meant to be.

    Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving the sweet comment. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

      Thank you Sherry. The onset of the monsoons has been delayed almost everywhere. May be that is why you did not have any rains. But I will pray for a cool and refreshing rain shower for you.
      It is good to have you visiting. Reading your blogs is always a pleasure.
      You too have a blessed and lovely weekend ahead.

    Lovely poetry. :) Where I grew up, the first rain after a long period of dryness always made us very happy...

    The imagery here is really lovely. A small thing - I might use a different word than "breathed" for rain bringing the ground and land back to life. Breathed speaks to me more as air than water, so it jarred me a bit at the beginning.

      Thank you Angela. I totally agree breathed is used more with air and water. I was kind of stuck up there and after that it became easy to write. A great learning for me. Thank you so much.

    Lots of vivid imagery here. I agree with Angela, but I have no suggestion that would fit. Maybe "returned"?

    "The rain possessed us all" is a lovely thought.

    Here's a thought for you on the "Rain breathed life" issue - "Rain birthed life". May tie in with the water idea better. Not entirely sure how it would flow, but it's a thought. I think you did a great job with the piece. Simple and elegant - definitely the way to go!

      Thank you Wisper. I guess your suggestion rings well with me and I am editing the post in tandem with the suggestion. Thank you so much.

Showstopper's Yesterday

The 12 inch heel, the confident gait, The measured steps, the sudden halt, The blush on cheeks, the smoldering eyes, The hands on hips, head held high, The silken gown, barely there, A tilt of neck, balanced well, The sultry glance, timed right, Perfect half twirl, played twice, With a graceful swirl, she turns back. The world looks on with stolen breath, Oohs, aahs, applauds, encores. The showstopper’s yesterday, Now hangs in a gallery, Fading parchment, guarded unnecessarily. No shadows of glamour come a-chasing, For vacant eyes and sagging skin, For shattering illusions, hanging questions, Am I never going back?

Faint glimmer in heart

Ripe autumn air’s come to bless. Showering sweet November caress. We could be holding hands and walking, Silent but still talking. Faint glimmer in heart. White winters, no flowers in sight. Frosty December moonless night. And here I am hoping for your arm, To keep me safe, to keep me warm. Faint glimmer in heart. The year twenty twelve is leap they say. Oh! I can hope some more, there’s one more day. Hope for smiling summers with you, Hope for blessings to rain through. Faint glimmer in heart. Dying, not yet vanished, There’s a faint glimmer in this heart. Linking with Trifecta : Week Fifty Linking with Velvet Verbosity : 100 Words

The pain is all gone

It wasn't the first time. And it would not be the last. She could not stand them suffering like that. She asked for his consent. He expressed his willingness in whimpering sounds. And the pain was gone – forever. Linking up with Trifecta : Trifextra - Week Nineteen
