When It Rains, Poem by Habeeburahman Thaliyil Abdulla

Graves come alive
When it rains.
Windows to eternity
Souls of love lost
Exchange love notes.
Full moon at cemetery.
Thundering rain
Windows to doors
Soul swims
Deep in the ground
Catching
Falling stars from the sky
Veins blossom,
When lovers cuddles.
Grandma s waiting for rebirths
Lulls the infants into sleep.
Graveyard of love notes
Suddenly
Silver patches fades
Drizzling
Rain ceases
Windows shuts
Doors to walls
Lullabies unheard
Listen to their cries
Praying in silence
Lovers entomb hot kisses.
