Illusion Poem by Khairul Ahsan

Illusion

Rating: 5.0


As the gentle breeze of the Spring
Sways the trees and plants of your garden,
Dark Monsoon clouds gather in my sky
And the downpour descends in torrents.

As a flurry of rain patters against my window,
I silently stand beside and watch;
Oh how the rain quenches the thirst
Of the parched soil beneath!

I slide open the window glass.
Drifts of rain drench me,
Yet I keep the window glass open
And feel how love drenches a lovelorn soul!

I slide open the window glass. Drifts of rain drench me, Yet I keep the window glass open And feel how love drenches a lovelorn soul! Fabulous imagery, Khairul Sahab.......10
