_A Lost Monsoon_

The “new” sheds its charm
 Amateurish and incomplete And stoops down – As if in 
defeat – To the peerless grace and completeness Of what was – Of the beauty in cracked
walls and leaking roofs And wrinkled hands and damp floors, Of an old rain that 
was a unique contrast; Days when the droplets poured into our hearts And a warmth
spread in our souls – As if proving to be a visual oxymoron; Today, the rain sends
chills down the spine Forming a frozen void within, Searching in vain For that lost
solace, The cuddling hands And that serene face That are now stiff and pale And 
numb and cold – Indifferent and invisible Somewhere, With tears burnt And emotions
buried – Dissolved in the monsoon. Forever.
