In A Rainy Night Poem by lalitha iyer

In A Rainy Night



It is chilling outside here
the glow worms my only hopes
little do I know
that glow worms are not hot.
rains have wet earth beyond its hold
now, air is cool and heavy with moist bold.
Frogs love the fridges of green
they croak and love-till snake's dream.

I am freezing
my limbs are paining
bones are needling, brains numbing.
no blankets shroud, nor blinking lights appear
I am in a forest full of empty cheers
tears and fears all ice now
I sit and try to doze my nights.

The spears of enemies swirl around
like the giggling baby under elephant's feet
I clap my hands to catch them to ground
I am jittering, my teeth feverish chatting
slowly I slip into icy coma
death penetrates, infiltrating sleep comes
Every bee and butterfly crowd my heap
Poor things I starved their seats.

When love is Spring
Hate is Monsoon
but rains are nice
but chillness has a price
I am depreciated, my value begins at zero
never did I feel that my currency is Greece
I feel the marathon of sperms beginning
rebirth sounds at the end of the tunnel
the train is empty, may be I am the first to funnel.
