And It Rained

And It Rained

And it rained
After a long sweaty night 
As he approached home
It rained
Chucking the weather forecasts away into the dustbin
Laughing them off
The nature had smiled
The skies were an array of blues and blacks and greys
A tiny ball of sun played peekaboo with them
Its rays occasionally splitting into discernable beams of light
Waking the little town to a new day
The railway tracks he passed glistened in the sunlight
A band of CRPF men were starting their morning warmups
And he was happy
The soil smelled his own
This was where the story began
These lanes, by lanes formed his own little cosy corner in the world
Slowly the rain faded away
But not what it had left him with
He was happy
At last he was home

And it rained
As he sat alone
Among those breathtaking views
The mighty glaciers and beautiful valleys
It rained like there was no tomorrow
Sheets of rain fell down straight from the black clouds
Probably it wasn't as beautiful today
He stayed unmoved
It wasn't unusual in this part of the world at this time of the year
Like god had suddenly decided to have some fun pouring acid on his wounds
Drop by drop, having him feel every ounce of the burning pain
Before the next drop was thrown in
It made him realise with every passing second what he was missing
What had been brutally snatched away from him
She loved these mountains, these rains
Whenever it rained, the deep blue skies and the deep green hills
Made the most picturesque collage of Nature 
Celebrating their union here was her idea
It had been five years ago
He could still see her smile, when she looked up at the grey skies
The drops of rain glistening like pearls travelling down her cheeks,
Her neck, to her bosom
It only felt like yesterday
And yet just yesterday, came down his tryst with fate
Five blissful years of union shattered in a snap by a mad truck running wild on the road
He hadnt bothered to stay for the cremation
His and her family were taking care of it
She had said, if you ever wanted me and i wasn't there
Find me here
Feel me in the drops of the rain
Hear me in the winds 
I, will be right here baby
And he looked up at the grey skies
Reminiscing her long flowing tresses
Knowing that she was up there somewhere 
Looking at him..
The sky roared in assent
And it rained, again..
