I. I have fallen in love with the mid-June evening skies, and It's volatile shades of grey Like a temperamental canvas of inky blacks And blotted blues, lines of translucent paint drizzle down From the canopy of clouds, marred and bruised.
II. Lovers separated by atmospheres and seasons, A torrent of raindrops ravishes It's earthen companion, caressing the jagged scars across it's parched skin. I have fallen in love with The heady scent that permeates the humid air; The love-child of storm and soil Infused by the sweet, rich aromas Of a 6pm cup of chai.
III. I have fallen in love with The rivulets of rainwater that Trail silver maps across the ridges and contours of bottle green fronds; And the dewy droplets that adorn the Gulmohars and Cassias that are strewn beside my bare feet; Like a bejewelled carpet of scarlet and gold.
IV. We are words Ricocheting off one another, Relief, catharsis and a safe space after a long day. We are the comfortable silences, the content sighs, And the barefaced truth Between mother and daughter. I have fallen in love with The tapestry of words that we weave.
