Petrichor

Petrichor

(n.)

The pleasant earthy smell after rain


You touch me under the cloudburst,
And paint me with your fragrance,
As we walk through the wet meadow,
The pleasant scent of petrichor carries us like buoyant hummingbird chirping,
The earthiness in the smell penetrates
the elegance better than a moonset,
better than the rose fragrance.

I find myself staring at your mesmeric
gaze,
Wanting to be lost in your earthiness,
Shower you with my compassionate love,
As you touch me under the cloudburst,
And whisper in my ears,
\"My love, All my broken melodies, rhythms easily get dispersed whenever the petrichor appears.\"
