When it rains like this

When it rains like this..
a constant, heavy downpour
There's always this
surging, thoughts outpour
from every nook and corner,
either awaking from a deep slumber,
Or just born watching
cocoa swirl, a burnt umber!

When it rains like this..
a never-ebbing deluge
as a numbing cold creeps
into the comforter
The quiet warmth of the hearth
Is the memory I grasp, a blur
in a distant recess of my mind!

When it rains like this..
On one fine September noon
With no sign of the Sun, none
whatsoever, I find myself tucked
Leafing through the pages
of an open book, humming a little
Thinking it's been a while since
I felt this adrift, listening to the Rain!
