Rain-kissed Lips

 I walked out the door
with a cigarette in my hand
I lit it & inhaled deeply
exhaled with a sigh
as cool droplets of water fell
from the swollen clouds
onto my face
I tilted my head
upto the dreary sky
I could hear the roaring thunder
and see the heat flash
before the lightning struck
through my blank brown eyes
As rain kissed my lips
I felt an urge to cry
but in the storm I didn't
and I have come to realise
the reason mother nature
released the rain upon my face
was to soothe the pain I felt inside
to touch me with her grace
and stand at my side
