let my wish not die this time around

i want to hold your hands and
move about in the monsoon
don't let my wish die this time around


i want to step my feet
into the puddles and kick the water out
and sing a little song, once in your ear
once aloud


i want to keep losing my umbrellas..
and buy new ones
of colors..magenta, purple, all the hues of love
may be a red one too


see the waves dying into foam
lashing the rock by the sea
strings of rain, incessant
furious like our love


drenched hearts and held hands
hmm..
not a shelter around
just us..alone together
