Its raining outside

a poem by Siddharth Bhattacharya

Its raining outside,
Lightning… wind… leaves are flying
Sound of thunder shivers my inside
Feel my numbness I’m not lying

There’s no one outside
All in the comfort their warm cozy home
Nestled and curled up inside
Sipping tea… or sleeping… away from the storm

Few friends… went out for a movie
I stayed home… good deed… you bet
Its raining outside you see
I hope they are not wet

Its getting dark as the trees sway
The thunderbolts light up the night
The rains don’t seem to go away
They’re putting up a fight

I hope to get up tomorrow
And see the sun shining bright
I have my book and the quilt for the night
I’ll see the sun tomorrow… as it rains outside!!!
