It was still early in the evening but it felt late. It felt very late. Maybe it was the raindrops, which were falling down in a hurry, chasing her down the road. Drenched in raindrops, she felt warm still. -Why do you have to hurry, you don't have to go nowhere, enjoy this, a part of her said. -No, no, its getting late, she rebuked herself. Why this obsession with lateness?? -Everything has its time and this is time for here. She thought she heard the man standing under the eaves of the cafe say this. Of course, he did not; he was just watching her, steam off his coffee, hands warm about the cup. He was watching a world go by, getting late for nothing.
Monsoon showers
Soaking you
On me
running
morning breathes
on moist skin
sleeping
her body curved
a smile

She sounds crazy. She is running, in rain, and hearing things that aren't real. Is she you? And what kind of person drinks coffee in the evening?? Anyway, very poetic!

My answer to you (if you get the chance to look) in my blog www.iamnasra.blogspot.com
such sensuality in your words. it reminds me of rainy days and when i got soaked once and it felt so good and warm. what beautiful imagery,
"watching a world go by.." through your writing is a treat :)
gorgeous replay of the impending rainfall and the desire to stay ... i'm always in rush to go somewhere and nowhere... :)
what a romantic picture.. yes sometimes time seems to stand still :)
P-f, thanks! yep she is me and i am a bit crazy. :)

Pallavi, i keep telling myself am not a romantic and most people think am very down-to-earth and then i go and do something like this. *sighs* :)

You're so right : Its an obsession, and like all obsessions its a curse to rid yourself of.. :)
Nice line: sleeping her body curved a smile ..
"She thought she heard the man standing under the eaves of the cafe say this. Of course, he did not; he was just watching her, steam off his coffee, hands warm about the cup. He was watching a world go by, getting late for nothing."
Wonderful lines. I can see the man standing there and watch the world go by.
"sleeping
her body curved
a smile"

"Everything has its time and this is time for here" How true,Beautiful lines at the end Gul,can relate to the craze:) of being there at the moment,soaking in the rain,the drops touching and soaking my soul,beautiful:)
this just left me speechless.
'her body curved a smile'.
wow.
What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
