Tempestuous seas, high tides,
Smiling rivers in full spate
joyfully overflowing streams
uplifting a morose mood
Bursts of torrential downpour
making torrid love to parched earth;
passionately trapping
lush green swaying palms
in abject surrender
transforming a loner's paradise
to a hypnotic spell of unison;
Coastal monsoon breeze
bruising soft cheeks
with its intense sting
cold tingling drizzle
spraying fresh drops of rain
on tendrils of tresses
breaking the rendezvous
all too soon
compelling a separation,
reminding me, it was time
for the goodbye kiss
Someday, across the waters
on a sunset cruise
during monsoon,
you will feel soft caresses,
hear voices resounding
Pause awhile, turn around
you will find the soul
that I left behind
whispering your name.
