☆ Memories ☆

 

Memories envelope you
Like the helplessness
On an evening of unexpected rains.

 

Caught unawares,
You aren’t able to even open an umbrella,
And you get soaked.

 

Your emotions,
Which were covered by white polyster tunic,
Suddenly become exposed-
The rain has made the material transparent.

 

You run helter-skelter
To find a chamber of solace,
But there is none.

 

The rains
Take their own time,
And leave you only when they feel like.

 

Till then,
You have to keep a guard
And let no one touch
Your susceptibility.
