Zest

 

Zest

I've learnt to love the rain,
I've learnt to embrace the pain -
With every drop brushing my skin,
With every blow of the maddening wind,
I inhale the freedom within.
I've learned to love the lonely roads,
The paths meant for the soul.
The scent of soil exulted in mist,
Sheer drizzle teasing the yearning heart
Awaited peace, awaited lust.
My heart craves to break away,
To lose myself
And be lost forever.
