You Are A Charmer! Poem by Nithya Balachandran

Listening to the singing of rain outside,
I stood at the balcony.
Lovely scent of the wet earth
pierced into my nostrils.
The wet leaves of the jack fruit tree,
shimmered in the darkness.

A touch of cold air on my skin
gave me a heavenly feel!
And I shivered with delight
Cool breeze blew my hair
tenderly and caressed my face

The sullen grasses,
beside the compound wall
smiled and swayed with
the gentle breeze.
Pink flowers of my potted
Ixora plant, in the balcony,
looked velvetty in the murky light

A look of ecstasy on all faces.
how splendid is nature's grace!

O Rain, you are a charmer!
whispered my entranced mind

And everything around me
echoed,
You are a charmer!
You are a charmer!
You are a charmer!
