Will you then run when the nor'wester comes?

Will you then run, 

When the nor'wester comes?

Will you not brave the skies with me?

So what of ruddy eyes?

That petrichor will dissolve

All your shades of melancholy

Turn around then,

Face the nip, the brooding skies 

For winds and hearts, we are all the same -

Once in a while, 

We yearn to sketch memories,

The indelible ones best untamed

The rains appear - 

The singed earth hums

As summer flirts in a rained disguise

Knowing well,

The love all ends in a single way - 

An evening wise with teary eyes…
