When It Rains

I like you when

You bring the cool breeze, beating the sultry heat

I love you when

You pitter-patter the roads

Where kids play, and lovers romance

I adore you when

The crops you help grow, in those parched fields

And I hate you when

You ride the tides with your menacing waves

I despise you

When I can mutely watch the waterlogging, the electrocutions

Believe me, there is no liking, no love, no adulation then

And I try to stop you in your tracks

And cover up the skies

With Godlike powers

That I don’t have
