In The Monsoon This Year Poem by Shakira Nandini

In the monsoon this year, when you come to visit
I thought we would spend the night like this
I will spread my heart at your beautiful steps
I will take a picture of you with my own eyes
You will say, tonight is a killer, yet the heart is at peace
You are a river of poison, yet you are precious
The iron heart needs a wound
The blood that drips from the fingers is needed
We are time, we are moments, we are fast clocks
There are restless moments, there are restless centuries
In raindrops, in our warm breaths
The clocks will stop, the fatigue will go away
In the monsoon this year, when you come to visit
