Something Inevitable About Rain Poem by Seema Jayaraman

there is something inevitable about the rain
not the kind that comes light & powdery as baby showers
but the kind that comes as an outpouring from the heavens
overwhelming in it's feriocity
a cloudburst, a torrent,
a river that just breached it's bank
and hovers in the distance as a mountainous watery wall
threatening to swallow the slumbering world
it comes heavy and thick, drivenin whipping sheets
an expansive orgy, a thunderous letting out of passions
when souls mingle, skin to skin wearing only the rain
filled, burgeoning, becoming one with the rain
till every sillouhte with it's sharp outlines are merged
with a million shades of the skies grey and
becomes one with the dripping horizon
