Rains Poem by Bishnupada Sethi

There is a sigh of relief,
From the hot days of the past
As it’s raining so heavy today.
The coolness has returned to the earth,
It’s turning to be greener
As if peace is returning.
But the music of water drops
Pierce the silence so created.

Everyone within homes
Feel safe with kith and kin,
A climate of warmth and love
Is there in the togetherness one sees.

But it’s hotter for me
Without you today here.
The rain doesn’t allow getting out
And your thought preoccupies me.
Without any scope to meet you,
The heart is choked,
It chafes the mind,
I can’t discipline the self
And the storm rises from within.

I look within my home
Its’ empty today.
