Wanna dance?

              

                                       Scurrying pedestrians,

                                  Foraging for the shelter.

Glasses and window-panes;

      Shutting the beatific lashdown.

          Zealous children wanting to make paper boats outside,

           Reprimanded by the anxious mothers,forcing them to stay inside.

                                                .....................................................

 Amidst all the emptiness of the streets, 

Which took pride in its hustle bustle a few minutes ago.

 We dance like mad hatters.

                     Ignoring the umbrella which could deliver us,

                                         Safe and dry.

                                  Yet,we choose to dance.

                                Not in a night club or a bar.

                              But,on the slippery dance floor.

                                             Taking risks

                                Despite your formal tuxedo;

                                  And my gorgeous stilettos.

I am dancing with you,

Dancing is a form of art.

The fact we are unrehearsed,

Makes it an unpremeditated art;

Like Shelley's skylark.

                                      What formality,what etiquette?

                  No ladylike or gentlemanly manners count

                           I am with you under the down pour;

                Not even letting the umbrella to come and draw us apart

Dancing, in the rain! You are letting go of conventions and inhibitions and opinions, and living free and happy!

I love rain...and i love getting soaked and I love making paper boats. This poem has so many factors that scream out "freedom" and "following your heart"...It is direct, it is edgy and it is very much like the rain; pouring out of the sky whenever it wants, washing out everything that stands in its way
Love this drizzly creation :)

A deeply romantic notion written with gusto FCB. You capture the nature of this portrait in your words and as always you squeeze the emotions onto your canvas like Picasso!
