Rainbow Poem by Suresh Kumar EK

You took my hand in your
Hand and whispered in my ear
"I would like to get near
A brother like you, my dear.

Deep in my soft inner heart
A rainbow fully blossomed.
My skies are again filled
with a heartful of colours.

But It couldn't last forever
As the dark clouds from above
Crushed it to grey and lost.
The wind floated the dreams
Away from me and kept it aloof,
In the distant untouched horizons
To be lost as in my unloved skies.

I don't know about those fiery
Winds killed my sweet dear dreams.
But it really made the heavy rains,
For all the seasons and henceforth.
And again my fields are stored with it
Gallons of pure groundwaters beneath.

My dreams are, all cherished
My yields are, well flourished
But nobody sees my sincere love
Infinite and passionate, for all
My dear sister, you are to prove.
