Cascading water drops wipe the pane clear
Flashes of light streak across the sky
Gusts of wind swirl through the leaves
Homecoming birds drive askew bewildered
Memories of a face reflected in the drops
Wind fury resuscitates the mind’s recesses
Ominous clap of thunder imitates your rage
Lashing spears of rain tear at the heart
Nature’s fury unbinds boundless forces
Threatening to smother, engulf, overwhelm
Sucking life out of living moments
Leaves in me a you-shaped vacuum.

Hello Latha:)
Greetings and good wishes:)
Beautifully crafted lovely poem with fantastic word pictures which I can see in my minds eye.
Words such as CASCADING WATER DROPS,FLASHES OF LIGHT,GUSTS OF WIND,HOMECOMING BIRDS,CLAPS OF THUNDER ETC. made a great impact on me and I could visualize these pictures vividly in my mind.
The underlying message of the poem is marvelous.
Best wishes:)

Lashing spears of rain tear at the heart
IS rain-tear a single word or am I supposed to read it as two diff words?
Thanks, friends.
@Ajay-You may my day!
Glad you think its good.
Well, one advantage of
writing poetry is that
even if the author writes
something simple, the readers
often interpret to mean
something profound!:D
It never struck me that the
words could also be combined
until you pointed that out!!
I used 'tear' as a verb.
Thanks Ajay, probably this is
what is called lateral thinking?
@Readers Dais-Welcome to my blog and
thanks for those encouraging words.
Well, I find your view interesting.
I have probably ended it in a negative way, with a slight twist of
words you made it positive. Thanks-
I will keep that it mind. :)
Thanks Amin,
I love those comments from your heart. Thanks for being so encouraging and kind.:)
Anuji,
Thanks for the visit after a fairly long break. Glad to see you here. You hit the nail on its head-RAIN, indeed its magical. Moon and rain are the most inspiring of all nature's wonders, I guess.
Hope to see you again here:)
@Joseph-Thanks for the visit, glad you find it interesting.
Writing poetry is always a bit tricky I suppose. What the author intends to convey might get lost in the interpretation of the reader. When it reaches the reader in its intended form, that gives the pleasure of a job well-done. Thanks for giving me that pleasure.
Hi Shafi,
You are always your usual prompt, encouraging, kind, diplomatic self :)
Thanks buddy!
Heart hears ; mind expresses !!
Goodone!
I almost felt it!
Somehow, was reminded of Roy.
"You-shaped hole in the universe"
