Rainy Night, The Balcony and Rain – October Night:
On a cold October night, the rain pours down in sheets, tapping on the windows and leaving the streets slick with glistening puddles. Two women stand on differeOn a stormy October night, two women stand on a balcony apart, each seeking something beyond herself.
This poem explores the themes of emotional longing, freedom, and silent companionship through rain and reflection.
Let yourself step into this deeply human moment under a cold sky.
When the Rain Falls, Stories Rise
On a cold October night, rain falls in thick, rhythmic sheets, whispering against window panes and pooling into puddles that mirror the soft glow of streetlights.
From two balconies in different corners of the city, two women stand, one inked by proximity by a shared moment and the other yearning.
One seeks commitment, the other waits to interact.
The rain bears witness to both.
Scene One – Rainy Night: The Woman in Rust
In the storm’s hush, a woman dressed in a rust-orange linen suit stands motionless on the balcony. Rain soaks the heart, blurring the boundary between inside and out, between vulnerability and strength.
Her eyes shimmer with the dreams of companionship, not just company, but a meaningful, rooted connection.
She’s been meeting someone fortnightly; a ritual of moments laced with the hope of becoming ‘usually.’
In her heart, commitment is not a chain but a dance. She doesn’t want to lose freedom; she wants to share it. Two discreet guards stand near the door, a symbol of grace and protection. They’re silent, but their presence signals that this moment is one of quiet magnitude. The rain keeps falling. So do her doubts and desires, softly, deliberately.
The Balcony and Rainy Night : Meetup Fortnightly shifted to Usually
On a late night in winter,
The rain pours down in a storm
Standing on the balcony
Rain soaks inside and outside
One lady, with eyes of dreams
Clad in rust orange linen suit
Close to companionship
Of the Moment
She stands beside in the balcony
Seeking a commitment
Looking forward to a commitment, a relationship!
Freedom runs all around
On a journey that made commitments fly
Crossing distances
Fortnightly, reaching the sky
Freedom runs wild and free
Commitment Fortnightly shifted to usually
Reaching the sky!
Two lovely guards within
To hold the grace of their lady
From the last episode
Sitting there inside!
Scene Two – Rainy Night: The Lady of Love
Across the city, in the quiet hush of another balcony, another woman walks, alone. She is not abandoned; she has chosen solitude. Her love runs deep, proud, and unspoken. She doesn’t look for companionship in the same way. She is a keeper of memories, a guardian of emotion. The rain lands on her arms, mixing with tears she never admits to.
She watches the hailstorm build. The chaos of it reflects the inner world she rarely lets out. Yet she is strong not in resistance, but in presence.
For her, love is not always about joining; sometimes it is about holding the heart tenderly and silently.
Then Balcony and Hailstorm : In wonder of the same moment
Another lady, the lady of love
Walking alone by choices and intentions
In the wonder of the same moment
Guarding deep affection with pride
Dripping tears inside!
Rainy Night: The Balcony Knows All
Both women, though seemingly distant in their paths, share a thread.
A longing to be understood, seen, and honored.
The balcony becomes a metaphor: an in-between place, a stage where emotions are neither hidden nor broadcast but simply felt.
In a world of constant motion, rainy nights like these invite stillness.
The cold air brushes against skin.
The sound of the rain becomes an orchestra of emotion.
Some wait for love.
Others walk with it silently.
Both are true. Both are beautiful.
