there is something frightening in what we say

there is something frightening in what we say

anything at all is born with intention 

mostly to annihilate the moment 

or more like seeing pristine snow

a glittering layer that would wilt 

from the warmth of your fingers

and shoveling it

a poem for this rain / on this day

1

a poem for this rain

on this day 

each rain drop 

i swear i won't forget

2

long drawn our dreams

i hear the microwave

now i'll write you

how it rained

3

i'm remembering

how we clasped

on a day like this

a long time ago

4

it is amazing later

how far we can go

how far we can be

lost to each other 

especially after

being so familiar

it is amazing

for raindrops 

to never change

5

a gale 

a sky

rain

it is amazing to 

think fondly 

of no one in 

particular

then always back

to you
