The rain here

The rain looks different here
It doesn’t anymore make noise on the roof
It does not spread the soil’s fragrance 
There are no kids out to make paper boats now
Their boats are stolen by the tall buildings, fancy schools and busy parents 
Now the rain falls all alone 
No one has time to watch it from window while sipping tea
Rain is now different here
People are busy and so is rain
It is sad and alone 
But it has not given up
It still fills up the sky 
It pours and it cares
Making the trees happy 
Hoping to see kids again making paper boats and dancing

The teenager was happy for her friend but felt alone ...

And at the end I am yours

Where all the conflicts end And the duality dissolves  Where all the noise calms down The chaos rests in peace  At that serene place I am yours. All my demands sink  in the depth of your eyes All my complaints Disappear In the curves of your smile All my anxiety melts  In the embrace of your arms All my questions are silenced  When our lips are locked Good or bad  Nothing seems to matter Right or wrong  The questions do not bother Where my material identity ends It blends in yours At that beautiful place  I am all yours.
