I Met

I saw her

Dancing in the rains

To the sound of the rain droplets

'Cham' 'cham' 'cham'

She sang

She jumped

In the clogged waters

One step

Two steps..

Above her head

She was moving

A portion of her red cloth

Dancing to the tunes she set

I also danced with merriment

Although I knew

She could not feel

My far-off presence

I just laughed

At my own foolishness

Pretending to be too clever

Away I went

She came later today

When I was playing cricket

With my friend

Thankfully as always

I kept a pen

Wherever I went

She asked me

If I could help her

In writing poems

To that

A smile glued to my face

And I

Took her hand

In order to demonstrate

To paint her

In the colour of my poems

She saw my fingers well

Then the palm of my left hand

Where

Though faded

She read

The lines of that song

She sang in the rains

She smiled shyly

To me

She was Evening Herself

No tomorrow

No today

It was she

All over again...
