The Rains Poem by Akhtar Jawad

The Rains

Rating: 5.0


Unending rains, dense clouds are thick
Enough to fertile human heart that is sick
Abundance of water to wash the dirt
Yes, now I see the earth's green shirt,
Water of this rain has put the clock back
I know what I lacked but I no more lack,
I don't care I am young once again
Let everyone listen to I shall not refrain
See my silence break in a cloudy wet night
Like flash of lightning in darkness of sight,
The rains have changed everything I see,
So what if I'm turned in a dancing tree,
Thoughts and words that come with showers,
Have blossomed in me the rainbow flowers,
I shall sing what I used to sing in alone,
I shall not whisper, in a clear loud tone,
The song that will let everyone know,
He still loves her see what he loves,
She's a work of art and the art he loves
My eyes will manage this lovely show,
Listen to, but watch her dancing eye brow,
You the graceful lady of unending charms,
Hug the message of rains into your arms,
I am a human being it's revival of age,
Come on get out of the time's cruel cage.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
(Being inspired by Maleka Firdus' Bengali poem Aiyee Brishti, though her poem is entirely different but the basic idea of my poem came from that poem which I tried to understand with the help of translators)

I am a human being it's revival of age, Come on get out of the time's cruel cage. Time cannot cage the spirits of the soul... Rains has the power to heal the entire Universe... What a beautiful poem Babajaan... Every word is shining like the drops of rain. Just awesome and fresh.10

Refreshing rains, feeding and cleaning. Let the cursers of the rain go on cursing. Wise poets know better. I really enjoyed to read this very well written poem.
