Monsoon Showers

Grey clouds thunder tearing the sky,

chirpy birds back to their nests fly.

Lucid drops of divine wonder,

tearing the sky, grey clouds thunder.

Merry buds, sparkling veil cuddles,

my pup splashes love in puddles.

Violet hues in streaming floods,

sparkling veil cuddles merry buds.

Pink tulips dancing to quick beats,

dripping mellow bathes tranquil streets.

Parched lilies moisten their blue lips,

dancing to quick beats, pink tulips.

Drenched carefree I am monsoon kissed,

dreamy muse floats in rejoiced mist.

Scented wisps lend their hand to me,

I am monsoon kissed, drenched carefree.
