White cranes,

Amid soaring clouds

Wavering

Rain dithers

Above farmers

 

Monsoon winds declare

She would burn pining, at stake

Those clouds- cruel, insane

 

Green rice fields, straw hats,

Bent women sing songs, deep love

Lonely scarecrows watch

 

The slanted droplets

Upon windows messages

A raincoat flutters

 

In soft rhymes, gently

Monsoon sang as rivulets

Drew murals on Earth

 

Wet walls, dark sketches

Rain seeped strange calligraphy

Pitter-patter pats

 

Then you smile again

Like rain, wetness beneath eyes

Sometimes hides stories

 

Thunder sounds gently

As my heart roars, you arrive,

Into my parched soul

 

Rain, a tar road winds

Up hills, a man and woman

Wait for bus, kissing

 

If

Is like

This rain

Seedlings of wishes begin

Rhapsodies

Again
