why I waited in the rain
It has been an exhausting week again, working through the weekends. I would like to spend more time on-line, but the body and mind just couldn't.
Still , I managed to write something. Prompted to write this after seeing an ad in a cab. "Why wait in the rain?" , it asked. Frankly , I didnit know what the ad was all about, but the words do bring back some fond memories...

why I waited in the rain
because you came to me
with your umbrella
offering shelter
like a heroine
out of a wuxia novel
and your smile
was dazzling
even on a wet
March morning.
you leaned close to me
warm breath in my face
a scent of soft talc
fresh lilac flowers,
the patter of rain
on stretched fabric
keeping time
racing alongside
our heartbeats.
we laughed
and stamped on puddles
like children
the song of our joy
scattering like beads
of crystal
clearer than the rays
that were
trying to break
through moody clouds.
