Monsoons

My first free verse attempt!

As the droplets of water hit my window panes
I gaze outside in amazement
To see the sky go from blue to black
And the creepy crawlies come out
While others rush to take shelter
The cacophony of the rain soothes
And calms down the heat, the rage in me
And blooms up the forlorn leaves
And the hopeless flowers drooping
There is something about the Petrichor
That fills my room with serendipity
My walls echo with the shrill voices
Of the messenger of monsoon; the cuckoo
The winds that blow around
And lift up the heaviest​ of souls
And makes lovers buzz around
The song of romance in this weather
There is something about the rains
That cleans up the air
Like it cleans up our hearts
There is something about monsoons
That make me crave for it
And fall in love with every drop of it
Like my own tears.
