Poem !

See, the stars have begun to shine,
And the night seems to be peeping in,
I know I cannot hold it back,
….that one lingering sunbeam.

The birds on trees now make no sound,
The winds blow soft and cool,
The Silence sings its favourite song,
Shhh ...the Dark is back to rule.

In such lonely, unfilled hours
A curious gloom pervades…।
Edgy nerves capture me still...
….Some miracle's in the air...

Yes, and then it really goes on,
The stars get bright and clear,
The words, poignant, ooze out of the heart
My dream's about to appear..

Tiny, shiny flicks of light
Then fill in the world for me,
My day begins when the world’s asleep...
A poem’s born to me !

The Rains !

It happened once; what? Let me tell you
The sky was blue and calm,
The day was smoothly running around,
It felt so bright and warm.

And then it started all of a sudden,
Together they swarmed up high,
The Blue was overlapped with the Black,
And the birds could hardly fly.

They thundered loud and flashed up there,
Just ready for the fray,
A minute or two, unable to wait,
They poured themselves away.

Big and bold and round and clean
The raindrops danced on leaves,
And filled the air with charm and cheer,
One could not help being pleased.

It goes on now again and again.
For days together in a row.
Now’s awaited the sunshine bright,
Just once for the pretty rainbow।
