monsoon of her mind

she told me she'd been crying
there had been a downpour of emotions
everything she wanted got washed away
in one blurry rainy afternoon
and like the crazy weather
she couldn't control this deluge
as it broke away all the dams
she tried to put around her heart
she couldn't help herself get inundated
by this flood of misery
the force of nature had been too strong
for her to avoid
this cataclysm of her heart

but like all lovers of rain
she knows that only rain has the power
to wash away everything
and make life start afresh
she knows
only after nature cries
things look much clearer than before
and the soil becomes ready
to bear new life
again

now that the monsoon of her mind
is over
her heart is ready
for the sun
