Rain - A curse




Rain evokes fond memories of a hilly village
Magically transforming the idle soil green
Springs drooling towards the river downhill
Barren canal uphill raising pool of tadpoles  
Paddy fields brimming again before harvest
Transformation of a lean river into a monster
That overpowers the old stone bridge ferociously
But it never took any life nor displaced people

 
Now, rain evokes haunting memories of a forgettable past
Echo of the rain droplets brought life back to scars in the heart
Bringing back the shades of beloved voices that opted silence
Along with the dreams and romances that they left behind
The untold truths are hiding in some distant hearts for long
Leaves the mind emotionally drained and craving for closure
Making the lonely nights unbearable with endless thoughts
Depraving the mind peace and sleep, an unforgiving torture
