Only I knew

As I stood in the terrace
my back drenched with sweat
and eyes squinting to see the sun..
the hot wind swept about me..

I could see the cloud patterns
patterns that belonged to me..
thoughts that I shared with myself..
my own.. MY OWN..

A volcano erupting..
A lonely bridesmaid.. A hungry dog..
Enigmatic, this
as indefinite as a dream..

Suddenly, the clouds darkened
the wind blew light and soft..
A few thick drops of rain
hit my forehead.. shrapnel intensity..It softened then..

The intoxicating smell of wet mud
relaxed my nerves
my mouth twisted into an odd smile..
Its meaning only I knew..
Oh! yes.. Only I knew! :)
